This hilarious game tests a blindfolded player’s ability to identify others by touch and sound. Perfect for breaking the ice at any party!
This is a refreshed adaptation from the All Eyes on Me retro party-game collection.
At a glance
Players: 4+ players.
You will need: A soft fabric strip and optional blindfold.
Cost: Free instructions; use items you already have. Optional props or prizes may cost extra.
How to play
- Sit in a circle and choose a listener, who may close their eyes or wear an optional blindfold.
- A host hands a soft fabric strip to the listener and offers its other end to one seated player.
- The listener makes an animal sound and the selected player copies it.
- The listener guesses who made the sound. A correct guess means they swap roles; otherwise offer another clue.
- Keep everyone seated and let guests pass if they prefer.
Host’s tip
Use fabric instead of a pointed stick. No touching another person’s face or body is needed.
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.
