How to play
In one variant of the game, one person wears a blindfold while another player guides them to reach a goal, carefully avoiding obstacles along the way. Another exciting variant requires the blindfolded player to find certain objects arranged in different places and take them back to the starting point. For an added twist, you can line up multiple blindfolded players, each holding the shoulders of the person in front. The last player in the row, who does not wear a blindfold, guides the entire group through the course.

Hitting a Nail into Wood
Set a thick block of wood on a stable surface and start a nail for each player so it stands upright on its own. Players take turns, one swing per turn, trying to drive their nail flush into the wood in as few hits as possible — the lowest count wins. Miss the nail and the swing still counts. One player at the block at a time, everyone else stands clear, and a leader starts the nails for younger groups.

Pin the Tail on the Donkey
Tape a large donkey poster to the wall. Each player in turn is blindfolded, gently spun three times, then pointed toward the wall to pin (or tape) their numbered tail where they believe the donkey's rear should be. No feeling around the poster edges allowed! Once everyone has placed a tail, remove the blindfolds and measure — the tail closest to the right spot wins. Swap the donkey for anything matching your party theme: a rocket, a unicorn, the birthday kid's photo.
