How to play
Everyone pairs up and plays a single game of scissors paper rock. The loser doesn't sit out, they become the winner's cheer squad. Winners then find another winner to play, and whoever wins inherits the loser's cheer squad on top of their own. Squads double in size each round, so the noise builds fast. Eventually two players are left with half the room chanting behind each of them, so make the final a best of three. Nobody is ever eliminated, so the energy climbs instead of draining away, and even a very large group finishes in a handful of rounds.
