HOW TO PLAY
1

Choose one player as the peacock leader who stands where everyone can see them.

2

The leader performs a slow, flowing arm and hand gesture inspired by a peacock spreading its feathers.

3

Everyone else mirrors the gesture as closely as possible, staying in rhythm with the leader.

4

Anyone who breaks rhythm or copies the wrong movement sits out for one round.

5

Rotate the leader role every few gestures so new patterns keep appearing.

6

Keep going until only a few sharp-eyed mimics remain standing.
