HOW TO PLAY
1

Stand in a tight circle, shoulder to shoulder.

2

Each player reaches across the circle and grabs the hand of two different people, not the people directly beside them.

3

Without letting go of any hands, the group works together to untangle itself into a single circle or several separate circles.

4

Players may step over or under linked arms, but must never release a grip.

5

The group succeeds once everyone is untangled and hands are still joined.
