Objective:

The goal of "Twangled" is for the players to work together to untangle themselves from a twisted web of colored bands without letting go of the handles they’re holding.

Setup:

1. Player Count: 4 to 8 players.

2. Components:

   • Colored bands with handles.

   • Spinner or a set of instructions.

3. Preparation:

   • Players form a circle.

   • Each player holds two handles of different colors.

   • Use the spinner or instructions to get everyone into a twisted-up position.
     

How to Play:

1. Twist Up:

   • Each player spins the spinner or follows the instructions, which dictate how to move and twist up the bands among players.

   • The result should be a tangled web where players are crossed over and under each other.

2. Untangle:

   • After the twist-up phase, players must communicate and coordinate to untangle themselves.

   • The challenge is to get back into a circle without letting go of the handles or unfastening the bands.

   • Players should work together to figure out who needs to move where, step over or under others, etc., to untangle.
     

Winning the Game:

• The game ends when the group successfully untangles and forms a complete circle with everyone holding their original handles without any twists in the bands.
  

Rules:

• No letting go: Players cannot let go of their handles at any time during the game.

• Communication: Players are encouraged to communicate clearly to solve the problem.

• Teamwork: The game requires cooperation among all players to be successful.
  

Variations:

• Timer Challenge: Set a timer to see how quickly the group can untangle themselves.

• Blindfolded: Increase the difficulty by having one or more players wear blindfolds.
