This one needs the TV: everyone watches the same picture.

How it plays

  1. 1

    Turn your phone sideways

    Put a thumb down anywhere to run. Lift it to stop.

  2. 2

    Listen for the hoot

    The owl hoots and its head starts to come round. Stop before it gets there.

  3. 3

    Don't move

    Still running when it's looking? It saw you, and everyone gets to watch what happens next.

  4. 4

    First over the line wins

    Caught players can make the owl twitch, to make the rest jump.
