HOW TO PLAY
1

Several players wear masks and take turns parading past the seated group with a short signature walk or dance.

2

Onlookers try to guess who is behind each mask based on the walk alone.

3

Correct guesses earn a point for the guesser, while fooling everyone earns a point for the masked player.

4

After everyone masked has paraded once, reveal identities and tally points.

5

The player with the most points, guesser or masked performer, wins the round.
