HOW TO PLAY
1

One player is chosen as the caller and steps a short distance from the group.

2

The caller invents a short, distinctive sound signal, such as a clap-and-whistle combo or a tapped rhythm.

3

The rest of the group scatters nearby, and on a signal, closes their eyes or turns away.

4

The caller repeats their signal from a new spot each time, and the group must move toward the sound with eyes closed or backs turned, guided only by hearing.

5

The first player to safely reach and tag the caller takes over as the new caller for the next round.
