  1. Thank you for your video and explanation about this game. I have a question, each team should have. a different password? What can the students that are out of the game do in the meantime?

    Thanks a lot.

    • You're welcome! There's just one password (same password) for everyone. But you can and probably should change that password every new round. Students are 'out of the game' only in the first round (which is a learning round that doesn't last too too long) so I just have them sit to the side and watch the round play out (again, it's not long sitting at all). Enjoy!

  2. Great Game- my group loves it. One difficulty we came across was with last people in each round just standing in hoops. They can either be declared the winners, or just end the round before it gets to this point.
    What do you recommend? What prevents people from standing in the hula hoop for long periods of time (in any round) towards the end of each round? Do you remove the hoops one by one? End each round early?

    • Hi, it's definitely a great game! Yep, you could do either of those things. Or once there's just a few players remaining, implement a "no hoop" rule. But I would just end the round once it reaches that point.
