HOW TO PLAY
1

Explain that Falak is a soulful traditional singing style built around long, expressive melodic phrases.

2

One player hums or sings a short, simple melodic phrase without words.

3

The group must hum the phrase back together as closely as possible.

4

The original singer then extends the phrase slightly and repeats the challenge.

5

Continue extending the melody round after round until the group can no longer match it accurately.

6

Note how many rounds the group managed together as their score, and try to beat it next time.
