This game is a short, fun, physical game to get people moving and laughing. It ideally works best with cluster sizes of around 20 people.

To begin this game, have everybody rise up and secretly identify one person in the group to be their “best friend”, and another completely different person to be their “worst enemy”.

When you say “go”, each person should position themselves between their best friend and worst enemy – protecting their friend. People shouldn’t obviously reveal who is their best friend or worst enemy. This diagram shows what it looks like from one person’s perspective. Of course, everyone has their own secretly identified Best Friend (BF) and Enemy.

Because everyone is trying to do the same thing, you can expect people will be moving around for several minutes. Eventually, they may (or may not!) settle so you may have to call ‘time’ after 2-3 minutes.

Once that’s done, you can introduce a variation where you must position your best friend between you and your enemy.
