Blind Association Ring
Standing in a ring, everyone takes turns saying a word that associates to the one their neighbour just said. On the leader's word everyone closes their eyes and keeps going; then the ring dissolves and people walk the room, eyes still closed, listening for their turn. Finally each person has to find their way back to their exact place in the ring by voice alone — and only then open their eyes to see whether the order survived.
- The final stage has a whole group moving with eyes closed; the source says to move carefully and try not to collide, and someone sighted should be watching
