Find Your Herd

Find Your Herd
Needs a room

You've been given an animal. So have three other people. Find them by sound alone.

Everyone gets an animal and has to find the others with the same one using nothing but the noise it makes. A room of forty people all mooing and barking at once is a properly funny thirty seconds, and it sorts a room into random groups faster than any counting off.
