Medusa
Heads down, look up on three: if two people lock eyes, they shout “Medusa!” and drink.
How do you play Medusa?
Sit around a table with filled shot glasses in the middle. Everyone looks down.
One player counts to three. On “three”, everyone looks straight at another person. If two people are looking at each other, both shout “Medusa!” and take a shot.
Play until the glasses are empty.
Warning: Best to fill the shot glasses with beer or alcohol-free drinks.
Agree on drinks and amounts before you start. The game works just as well without alcohol.
