Human Knot
Added by star5 April 24th 2006 @ 3:35 pmPlay a game of human knot with at least some strangers or other players you have not met in the Real World, in a pulic place. Human Knot is a game where you stand in a circle with a group of people, close your eyes, reach out your hands and grab someone's hand. You should be holding hands with two different people. Then you try to untangle yourselves into a circle without unlinking hands, by stepping over and under other arms. You should have at least 7 people in your group, the more you have the more fun, but also more complicated it gets. You may end up with multiple circles.
Document some stage of the tangled knot. You may need someone's help with this as your hands will be occupied.
