Flashlight Game: Statues
save
See who can keep a straight face in this after-dark game in which life imitates art.
What you'll need
- Four or more players
- A flashlight
To mix things up, call for a Statue Shuffle and turn off the flashlight for 30 seconds. In the dark, the statues can move at will, but they must freeze once the light comes back on. Anyone caught moving in the flashlight beam is out.
How to play
Select a player to pretend to be a tour guide and another to be a tourist in a darkened museum.
While the guide and the tourist turn their backs have the statues spread out and each strike a pose.
The guide must then lead the tourist among the artwork, shining the light on the stock-still players and describing them with silly names and funny stories of what they depict, all in an attempt to make the statues laugh or catch them moving.
As in most museums, there's no touching allowed, but the guide is encouraged to quickly -- and unexpectedly -- move his light among the sculptures to try to catch one unawares.
If a statue does move or make a noise, he or she is out.
The last remaining statue wins and becomes the next guide.
