HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1Start with one tagger inside the boundary and use hand touches for tags.
  2. 2A tagged player joins hands with the tagger; only the two outside hands of a linked blob may tag.
  3. 3When a blob reaches four people, split it into two linked pairs and keep chasing.
  4. 4The final free runner wins and begins as the tagger in the next round.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Radio-silent blobOnce two taggers are linked, the blob may not speak or point; it must coordinate through movement alone. If linked hands separate, the blob must stop and reconnect before chasing again. The last free runner wins and chooses whether the next round keeps the silence rule.
