Also known as Whizz boing or Whizz Bang Bounce This is a good game when everyone's got the hang of it and is going really quickly. You must be brutal with the no hesitation rules if you're playing with experienced drinkers. Participants sit in a circle. The game travels around the circle, with each player making one of the following moves: Whizz A Whizz consists of pointing with your whole hand, palm towards your stomach, across your body. To Whizz left, you use your right hand; to Whizz left, your right. The next player must Whizz in the same direction, or use one of the other words. Boing this consists of raising your fist at head height, with the inside of your arm facing the person who Whizzed you. Boing changes direction. For example, the person on my right Whizzes me (they must be using their right hand for this). I raise my left arm and say "Boing". The person to my right must then use their left hand to go "Whizz" to the person on the other side of them. Bounce consists of the boing action with _both_ hands, followed by a downwards pull. That is, you raise both fists to head height, then pull them down to the level of your shoulders while saying "Bounce". Bounce skips one person in the direction the circle is traveling. Bang To Bang, you make a pistol with your fingers, point it at someone and go "Bang". They must then Bang in the direction the circle is traveling. Whoever fucks up drinks. STARTING: The first player announces "The name of the game is Whizz Bang Boing, to my " then Left or Right, then makes a Whizz in the appropriate direction. NOTES: You must always Whizz after any move except Whizz. E.g. if someone bangs you, you can't just go "bounce" and get away with not knowing what way the circle's going. You (personally) cannot do the same move twice in a row (except Whizz). This one can catch a lot of people out, e.g. if someone does a boing, the direction changes a few times with everyone Boing-ing, then it comes back to the first person who's long since forgotten their original move and goes Boing again. OTHER MOVES: Alfa Gearbox. Someone yells this out, everyone stands up and goes "One, Two Three, Four, etc." making gear-changing motions. The person whose turn it is (i.e. the one that yells Alfa gearbox) decides how high to count, and all other players must just count along. When they stop, you skip that number of people and change direction. Eg. "Alfa Gearbox! One Two Three Four!" skips four people and changes direction. Movements Only: Good for a pub when the innkeeper's getting a bit pissed off with the raucous behavior of the alcoholic louts. Complete silence is required during the game (but you can be as noisy as you want accusing when someone fucks it up). A good moves-only game can get up to blistering speeds, and is impressive to watch. Noises only: Works better if you move away from the basic "Whizz Bang Boing" noises. There are a number of alternate games based around the same actions with different noises, e.g. Peter Plumley-Walker, Desert Storm, Yee-Ha Ho-Down Hay-Barn, etc. Basically make up whatever you find amusing (we've got an elephant man one, with elbow-trunk actions instead of noises). If you get used to playing Whizz with your own noises, drop your actions and try noises only. This is great for bemusing spectators - imagine seeing a bunch of people round a table in the pub going "Aaah! Oh! Hurt Me Good Baby! Oooooh yeeeeeeaahhh!" and trying to work out what was going on! |
