The three-strikes format keeps everyone involved throughout and creates natural laughter. Suitable for players with similar mobility levels who enjoy fast-paced activities in open spaces.

    Super fun version of tag games. Lots of laughter to be had as one tries to remain in the game with limited tagging or movement abilities. Absolute classic.
