How to play
A "slow cycling race" is an event where participants compete to cross the finish line in the slowest possible time. Unlike traditional bike races where speed is crucial, in a slow cycling race, the goal is to maintain the slowest pace without coming to a complete stop.

Shuffle-Shuffle
You get all the chairs in a circle and have the people playing sit on them. Make sure there are no empty chairs. Then pick someone to stand in the middle of the circle. The aim for him/her is to take a seat. Chits are made with certain details for example "Everyone wearing black clothing". The person in the middle reads the chit from the pile of chits and begins to find a seat. The aim for the people sitting is to not let the player in the middle take a seat from them. To stop them from sitting down the players that are sitting down shuffle from chair to chair. Players can change the direction at any time. There should be one less chair than the number of people playing the game so that there will always be one person who does not have a seat and that person can stand in the middle and read the next chit.

The shoe from behind
The "shoe from behind", among all those who want to play, a draw is drawn to determine who gets the shoe. One comes out and keeps the shoe and the rest, holding hands, form a circle on the floor while sitting. The one who has the shoe begins to go around the circle and sing this song (or another similar one): "To the shoe from behind, tris-tras. You don't see it nor will you see it, tris-tras. Look up, beans are falling. Look down, chickpeas are falling. Go to sleep, go to sleep, the Three Wise Men are coming!" When the song ends everyone must close their eyes and count to a number, ten for example. The person wearing the shoe must leave it in the back for someone. After a few seconds they open their eyes and check who left the shoe. The one who has it must grab it and run after the person who left the shoe to try to touch him with the shoe. If at 3 laps (or as many laps as agreed upon) he cannot catch it, he loses. Then he will be the one to start the game again.

The Green Glass Door
The host announces they're going through the Green Glass Door and can bring certain things: "I can bring a puppy, but not a dog. Grass, but not a lawn. The moon, but not the sun." Players take turns proposing items and the host rules them in or out, until one by one they crack the hidden pattern — anything spelled with a double letter passes the door. Solvers keep the secret and join in with their own examples, tormenting the rest. Any pattern works for repeat groups once this one is burned.
