HOW TO PLAY
1

Hang a bedsheet or tarp between the campfire and the seated group so it glows from the firelight behind it.

2

One player at a time steps behind the sheet holding a prop or wearing a hat while the fire casts their outline onto the fabric.

3

The seated group calls out guesses for who is behind the sheet based on the shape and any exaggerated poses.

4

The hidden player can strike funny poses or mime an action for extra clues if guesses stall.

5

Whoever guesses correctly takes the next turn behind the sheet, and the round continues until everyone has had a turn.
