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

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.
