Scorpion

How it Works

A number of players stand in the middle of the room, eyes closed the others stand by the walls. One of the middle players is tapped on the shoulder, she become the 'killer' or the 'vampire'. The trainer give a go-sign, and all 'blinded' players start milling around the room. When the killer bumps into someone, she squeezes that persons forearm to 'kill' him. When a victim dies, he utters a scream, opens his eyes and is 'out'.

Game is over when all potential victims are dead.

Audience by the walls make sure that blind players don't bump into stuff or hurt themselves.

Variations

  • When a 'vampire' runs into a victim, the victim becomes a vampire too
  • When 2 vampires bump into one anther, they become normal mortal souls again

Longform and shortforma are the yin and yan of improv: opposite, equal and complementary -- (found on YesAnd.ww bulleting board)
