Purpose
This game is used to engage large groups of people interacting with one another in an entertaining manner. It focuses on high levels of movement, making sound, and really playing it up around people. It can also serve as a good ice breaker or time killer especially with larger groups. One of the few games that works better the larger the group of people is.
Demonstration / guide
This game follows for the most part the rules of rock paper scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock. The twist of this game is that every time you beat a level, you advance upwards in evolution. Starting with phase one, everyone begins as an egg.
Phase One egg. Participants are to make a circle over their head and yell “Am an Egg!” Because eggs can only play other eggs. So you will have to find another egg and challenge them to rock paper scissors. If you win, you get to move onto phase two!
Phase two, baby chick. Participants are supposed to shove their hands in their arms pits in order to make wings and continue to stay crouched. As a chick you are expected to make “Cheap cheap” sounds and challenge another Chick. Similarly to eggs, chicks can only challenge chicks. Because you are only allowed to challenge someone of the same rank as you. This pattern repeats throughout the entire game. Now you might be asking ‘what if I lose’ well if you lose, you go BACK to being an egg, if you lose as an egg you just stay an egg. However if you win this round you can evolve to phase 3.
Phase three chicken. You can now stand up and use their hands to flap and make wings. Challenge another chicken and win to move onto phase four.
Phase four Roaster. Clasping both hands together stretched out front and standing tall they make “Doodle doooo!”
Phase five, the Dinosaur. (yes I technically know this is ‘deevoling’ but it's fun) At this stage the participant lifts their hands above their head and makes roaring sounds. This is the final stage, as soon as one Dinosaur beats another dinosaur, the game is over and that person is crowned the victor.
