One person sits blindfolded on a chair with a set of keys underneath it while the circle tries to steal them without being heard. If the Keeper hears someone they point at where they think the theft is coming from, and a correct point sends that person back. Once the keys are gone the Keeper gets three guesses at who has them.
Hold with care
- One person is blindfolded while the rest of the group moves around them — worth asking rather than assigning, and worth saying that the blindfold comes off on request
