Feedback from our game

We created a blind dodgeball idea using the following rules:

-You must throw a ball within 10 seconds.
-You must be blindfolded.
-If a player is hit by a ball, they must yell "PINEAPPLE!"
-If the thrower fails to hit anyone, they must jump and pinch their nose.

After seeing our game in action we learned that people started to manipulate the game in their favour. There was some rampant cheating going on (people weren't yelling when they were supposed to), people running out of the lines, etc. At the same time, people also began to manipulate the playspace, such as not standing up, throwing the ball backwards, and confusing the targets.

This game is a very physically intensive game, so putting it into context with our KCC game: something this physical might not work. We should cater for a broad age range (ages 5-12) and obviously, older children will have more physical advantages than younger children.

With this in mind, we'll be exploring a lot of different games! Maybe more sit-down games so more people can participate, while keeping the roleplaying aspect (maybe?)
