Equipment:
Have music ready to play (Recommended song - Incredits 2 from the Incredibles 2 Soundtrack - see our Magic Game Playlist)
Hand Sanitizer for children after the game (optional)
Objective:
Correctly guess who the secret agent is and win, OR if you are the secret agent avoid detection until there are only 4 people left and win. Points are also awarded to the most theatrical elimination.
How to Play:
Everyone will put their heads down. A leader will walk around and touch someone on the shoulder who will play the role of the secret agent. The secret agent’s job is to get other players out, without being found out. Everyone will walk around the room shaking hands (Players cannot refuse a handshake). The secret agent gets people out by shaking hands, you rub the inside of their hand. (The secret agent dosen't have to rub on every hand shake they give)
If your hand is rubbed you are eliminated, you shake 3 more hands then dramatically (and safely) fall over sit on the floor until the next game.
If you are not the secret agent, you can guess who they are to win the game, but only if you haven't been rubbed and eliminated yet.
If you see someone rubbing or someone who looks suspicious, come up and tell the leader (a leader will be assigned the job saying yes or no to kids guesses). If you get it right the secret agent is out and you win, if you get it wrong you are eliminated and must go in the centre of the floor and fall over dramatically (and safely). No pointing to others to show who you are guessing, as it gives too much away to other players. You can say their name if you know it or what kind of clothes they have.
If you are the secret agent and there are only 4 other players left without getting found out you win!!
Variations:
You can play the game with 2 secret agents running at the same time! It is chaos but the kids enjoy it! Once one is found out, it is announced to the group but the game continues until the 2nd one is discovered or wins. Secret agaents can also get each other out. If one secret agent elimates the other, it is announced to the group that there is only one agent left and play continues.
