HOW TO PLAY
1

One player is chosen as the maker, and every other player lines up to take a turn being spun.

2

The maker takes each player's hand in turn, spins them around once or twice, and then lets go, sending them off balance.

3

The spun player must freeze completely in whatever pose or position they land in the moment they stop moving, becoming a statue.

4

The maker walks along the row of frozen statues, inspecting each pose and often inventing a playful story or title for what each statue seems to be doing.

5

Any statue that wobbles, giggles, or moves before being dismissed by the maker is out for that round.

6

After every player has had a turn being spun and judged, a new maker is chosen and the game starts again.
