HOW TO PLAY
1

Seat one blindfolded player in the center of a circle with a bell placed on the ground in front of them.

2

The other players sit around the circle, and one is secretly chosen as the 'thief.'

3

The thief must creep forward quietly and try to grab the bell without ringing it or being heard by the blindfolded guard.

4

If the guard hears a sound and points correctly toward the thief's direction, the thief must return to their spot and try again later.

5

The thief wins by successfully stealing the bell and returning to their seat undetected; the guard wins by correctly catching every attempt.

6

Rotate the guard and thief roles so everyone gets a turn.
