III. INTRODUCTION

The game is composed of multiple players aligned just like a millipede; which represents an

elongated body that is composed of many segments. In our modified game, the players will

build this millipede-like line by putting their arms on the shoulders of the person in front of

them. Our game is inspired by (1) children who used to play and run in the streets by making a
(2)
line which is a millipede-like form and Dr. James Naismith who invented and started

basketball by using an ordinary ball and a bucket.

PLAYERS

 All players will be blindfolded except for the last player.

 The first player will hold a ball which he/she needs to shoot in the bucket.

 The last player will not be blindfolded because he/she will be the one to tell where the

bucket is.

IV. MECHANICS

 Players will form a line and they are blindfolded, except for the last player.

 The first blindfolded player will hold a ball.

 The bucket will be 10 feet away from them, the first player should put or shoot the

ball in it.

 The first team to shoot the ball in shortest time will be the winner.

HOW TO KNOW WHERE THE BUCKET IS?

 The last player, which is not blindfolded can tap the shoulder of the person in front of

him.

 The person in front of him will tap the other player until the tap will reach the first

player.

 A tap on the right shoulder means that the first player should turn right; A tap on the

left shoulder means that the first player should turn left.

 The team can make up of their own sign language.

 Strictly no talking.

V. RULES AND REGULATIONS

 There is no maximum time limit. The play must go on until the team will shoot the

ball in the bucket. The team with the shortest time to do so wins.

 All players should be properly blindfolded. The team that will attempt to take a peek

will restart a new formation again, but their time will continue to run.

 If the last player talked and told the other players where the bucket is, they will start

again a new formation but the time will not reset. The time will continue to run.
