In a dark room one player holds the torch and everyone else moves silently around the edges. Getting caught in the beam means taking over the torch.

What you need

  • One torch or phone flashlight
  • A room with the curtains closed
  • Cushions along the walls

How to play

  1. Close the curtains and clear the middle of the room of anything to trip over.
  2. Give one player the torch and switch off the lamps.
  3. Let the others move quietly while the beam sweeps the room.
  4. Whoever gets caught in the beam takes over the torch.
  5. Agree that everybody walks — running in the dark ends the game.
  6. Play one round where the hiders may only crawl.
