Four on a Couch

How To Play

• Step 1.

  Select two team and identify them using bibs or coloured bands. Set out a ring of chairs, 4 of which are designated 'The Couch' (ideally a real couch) with one spare chair on the left side of it. Each player sits on a chair alternating between teams.

• Step 2.

  All players write their real name on scrap of paper which are then collected in and redistributed to the group to give everyone a new SECRET identity. (Note: If they happen to draw their own name it's ok.)

• Step 3.

  The objective of the game is to help to get 4 of your team members onto The Couch.

• Step 4.

  The player on The Couch with the empty chair to their left goes first and names a player, hoping that the person with this secret identity will be in their team. This person moves to the empty chair on The Couch.

• Step 5.

  The player who now has the empty chair on their left calls a name and the person with that secret identity moves to the vacant chair. Repeat this step until one team wins.

• Step 6.

  The person with the empty chair to their left then repeats Step 4 and this continues. Players must observe and try to memorise each players new name.
  IMPORTANT: after each player is selected they cannot be named again until 3 turns have passed.

• 

  The first team to place 4 of their members on The Couch wins the game.
