Four rows of four hold hands to form a washing machine. Three people are outside it: the dirty laundry, the detergent, and the one doing the washing. The detergent chases the laundry between the rows, and when the washer calls 'change programme!' everyone in the machine turns a half-turn and takes new hands, so the corridors change and the held hands block the way.
Hold with care
- Running between rows of held hands that change without warning — collisions with arms are the obvious risk and the source does not mention it
