How to Play

Setting Up

1. Find a Smooth Wall: Locate a smooth, blank wall where players can line up and move down without obstacles.
2. Line Up: All players line up against the wall with their backs pressed against it.

Rules

1. Starting Position:
   • Players stand with their backs against the wall.
   • Feet should be shoulder-width apart.
2. Assuming the Position:
   • Slowly slide down the wall, “walking” your feet out until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
   • Your knees should be bent at a 90-degree angle, and your back should remain flat against the wall.
3. Hands Placement:
   • Place your hands on your thighs or knees. Hands should not touch the wall or help support your body in any way.
4. Endurance Challenge:
   • Hold this position for as long as possible.
   • The last person remaining in the seated position against the wall wins.

Winning the Game

• The winner is the last player to remain in the sitting position without collapsing or standing up.

Additional Rules

• If a player’s form breaks (e.g., if they slide down, stand up, or use their hands for support), they are out of the game.
• Players must maintain the 90-degree angle with their knees and thighs parallel to the floor throughout the challenge.

Game Tips

• Wear comfortable shoes with good grip to prevent slipping.
• Focus on your breathing to maintain endurance.
• Engage your core muscles to help support the position.
