Gameplay:
Divide the group in a designated space and have the participants sit down. These participants will be the giants.
Two participants are blindfolded and spun around. Both players must individually try to navigate through the forest of giants.
When they touch a giant, it explodes (with a loud bang or sound).
When the game leader beats the drum, the two participants must stop and an earthquake occurs, causing the giants to roll and move to a different location.

Can either of the participants successfully navigate through the forest without causing a giant to explode?
