HOW TO PLAY
1
Players stand in a circle around a leader, who calls out "Nyama!" (meat) to open every round.
2
Everyone jumps in place and repeats "Nyama!" back to the leader to show they are ready.
3
The leader then shouts the name of an animal, and if that animal is commonly eaten, all players jump and shout "Nyama!" again.
4
If the leader names an animal that is not eaten, players must instead freeze completely still and silent.
5
Anyone who jumps for a non-edible animal, or freezes for an edible one, is eliminated from that round.
6
The leader speeds up and mixes in trick answers until only one alert player remains, who becomes the new leader.
