Mirror Duel

Mirror Duel
Needs a room

Copy your partner perfectly. Then try to catch them out.

In pairs, one person moves and the other mirrors. Then the rule flips: the leader is now trying to lose their mirror, and every slip is a point. It turns a calm attention exercise into a duel, and the sound the room makes when somebody gets caught is the reason to run it.

Run this when…

If none of these is your room, pick another.
  1. A room that needs to wake up without leaving their spot

  2. Straight before anything that needs close attention

  3. A group that already knows each other and wants a game
