All players stand in a circle. The game runs on two commands. You may know it as “Look Up, Look Down.”

On the command “Down!” everyone looks at the floor.

On the command “Attack!” everyone looks at another player.

If two gazes meet, those two players die a movie-worthy death and are out. Over the course of the game, the circle gets smaller and smaller. One or two winners remain, depending on whether the number of players was odd or even.

💡
Variation “Laser Eye”: Works like the standard game, with one twist: when two players’ gazes meet, each has to say the other’s name. The slower player loses the round and is out. The same goes for saying a wrong name.
