Game 6: Yellow Cow 2.0

Yellow Cow 2.0

What you need to play

  • Multiple participants
  • A cell phone (can be fake or real, but just for looking!)
  • A good dose of courage to stay offline!

Objective

This is the modern, tech-savvy version of the "Yellow Cow" game. Here, the cow is watching for anyone who can't stay away from the internet. Talking is allowed. Laughing, singing, dancing too. What's not allowed is touching your phone, tablet, computer, video game controller, smart fridge, or anything connected!

Official song:
"Yellow Cow liked your profile.
Whoever connects first posts 💩 on Reels!"

Rules

  • All players sing the song together.
  • After that, the challenge begins: no one can touch, check, or connect with any electronic device.
  • The game runs for a few minutes (whoever is organizing can use a hidden timer).
  • Anyone caught:
    • Using their phone
    • Sending messages
    • Turning on the TV
    • Taking that quick peek at any screen...
    Loses! And has to do a silly forfeit!

Suggestions for funny forfeits

  • Do a silly dance
  • Speak only in rhymes for 2 minutes
  • Sing a made-up song about being disconnected
