How it Works

Get everyone into a circle, holding hands. One player starts the game by squeezing the hand of one of his neighbors. The receive then squeezes the hand of his other neighbor, thus generating a 'squeeze wave' through the circle.

Variations

  • Squeezes can run in different directions, and you can have more than one squeeze wave cycling through the circle at a time

  • Instead of squeezing, you can make players communicate by pressing (or even slapping) hands together

  • Squeezes can run at different rates - this can be controlled by letting nobody squeeze their neighbors as long as the squeeze they receive is not over yet

  • You can have one player try to 'detect' the squeeze (try and squeeze as unnoticeably as possible)

Also known as Hands.
