Human Knot

Andy Fronius September 17, 2026 (1 min read)

Tangle your arms, open your eyes and untangle as a team, without letting go.

Illustration: a tangled knot of people with heads poking out and a yellow loop

🎲

Group: 4+ · Where: Indoors · Materials: None · Skills: communication, teamwork, problem-solving

Players start in a circle, stretch their arms out in front of them and close their eyes. Then they carefully step toward the center of the circle and grab the hands of other players, so that their arms end up in a tangle. The goal is to “untie” the knot and form a circle again without anyone letting go. The knot counts as untied once everyone is standing in a circle again.
