Searchlight

Equipment: Torch, 'darkness'

 

A person is blindfolded and put on a chair at one end of the hall. The remaining players sit quietly at the other end. The lights are turned off or lowered to allow a certain level of darkness. Selected players (by touch on shoulder) then attempt to quietly make their way to grab the keys and return without getting caught. The person with the ‘searchlight’ attempts to catch the players in the beam of the torch. He is only allowed to switch the torch on/off quickly in one position, he is not allowed to turn the torch on and swing it round (too simple). Any person caught in the searchlight must stop and sit quietly. If someone manages to escape with the keys he swaps places with the searchlight

Notes: Absolute quiet is needed for the game to work properly
