HOW TO PLAY
1
A few players slip away to disguise themselves head to toe so their identity is hidden.
2
The disguised mummers enter the room in silence or speaking in a disguised voice, moving oddly to avoid giving themselves away.
3
The other guests take turns asking yes-or-no questions or requesting a small dance step to gather clues.
4
Guests call out guesses for who is under each disguise before the mummers reveal themselves.
5
Once unmasked, the mummers join the guessing group and new volunteers take a turn disguising themselves.
