HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDTwo songs
  1. 1Put on the first song. One person leads with any movement while the other person mirrors it.
  2. 2Every 20–30 seconds, the follower changes one quality while still following the leader: slower, exaggerated, underwater, robotic, tiny, or dramatic.
  3. 3When the first song ends, switch jobs and start the second song. The new leader moves and the new follower mirrors and mutates.
  4. 4Finish when the second song ends, or immediately replay the funniest movement together as a final ten-second encore.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Play variationMirror a slow underwater dance, then mutate only the hands into frantic robots.
Play variationTry tiny movements for one chorus, then absurdly grand movements for the next.
