Time Bomb

Short Description

A tag game where tagged players must be defused like ticking time bombs before they are eliminated.

Group Size: 8+ players
Difficulty: Simple
Materials: None
Playtime: 5 to 10 minutes

Game Description:

Depending on the group size, designate a few taggers and mark them with a scarf, jersey, or rope. If a tagger tags a player, that player becomes a time bomb. They must extend their arms to the sides and count down aloud from ten to zero, slowly moving their arms overhead as they count. When they reach zero, they clap their hands once above their head, as their arms will have met in the middle. The bomb has now exploded, and the player is out. To prevent this, another player can "defuse" a ticking bomb by lifting their arms and bringing them together. The bomb is now safe! To speed up the game, the time bomb could tick for only 5 seconds, for example.
