Mummy Wrap

Teams of two or three get two rolls of toilet paper and three minutes. One teammate stands as the mummy while the others wrap them head to toe — face uncovered — as completely and neatly as possible before time runs out. Judge on full coverage, costume quality, and dramatic mummy pose; broken paper strips count against you. Then swap roles and wrap the next victim. Cheap, hilarious, and the group photo afterwards is guaranteed gold.
