Читать книгу Montegue Blister’s Strange Games: and other odd things to do with your time - Alan Down - Страница 34

You can’t beat the addition of a lighted candle to a game to bring that extra element of danger.

Firing Squad is for two or more players at a time. Players fix a candle to the top of a cycle helmet using molten wax, then strap the helmets to their heads. The candles are now lit. Each player is given a fully loaded water pistol and their aim is to extinguish the other’s flame in the quickest time possible. The last person to retain a lit candle is the winner. Players can move about to avoid incoming water, although they must do so cautiously as this increases the risk of the candle going out through their own movements.

For even greater fun, play at night with the lights out.
