Cross the Circle

Cross the Circle
Needs a room

Catch someone's eye across the circle. Both nod. Now swap places.

You find somebody across the circle, catch their eye, both nod, and swap places β€” with several pairs crossing at once. It is silent, it looks like choreography from outside, and it needs people to actually look at each other, which most rooms have not done all day.
