Despite its dramatic name, this retro game uses only a hidden choice and a group response. There is no electricity involved.

From the All Eyes on Me retro party-game collection, this old-fashioned favourite brings simple fun to a modern gathering.

Host’s tip

Agree on the volume beforehand; a gentle clap works just as well as a dramatic shout.

Agree on the rules before you start. Guests can join, adapt a movement or pass; use points or optional playful challenges wherever the retro rules mention forfeits.
