Players mill about with eyes closed while one of them, tapped on the shoulder beforehand, kills by squeezing a forearm. The victim screams, opens their eyes and is out. Players by the walls keep the blind ones from walking into things.
Hold with care
- A whole group moving with eyes closed; the source's own safeguard is a ring of sighted players at the walls, and that is not optional
- Being seized by the forearm without warning while unable to see
- Players are eliminated, and the framing is stalking and killing in the dark — for some groups and some histories that is not a game
