Materials needed: a folded tarp or a blanket / piece of fabric × number of groups
Participants are divided into groups of 4–8 people and all climb onto the tarp.
They are told that they are at a bazaar in Turkey and a merchant is offering them a very good deal on a magic rug that will take them home faster. The only thing they need to keep in mind for it to work is that if it rains, it must be wet on both sides.
They’re now flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters. They’re almost home; but… It’s starting to rain in heavy drops… the magic carpet is beginning to lose altitude… they have to flip it over to the other side as quickly as possible, or they’ll all die!
The teams have 5 minutes to figure out how to flip the mat over without anyone falling off.
