This game is very widespread. It is used especially as an introductory game and as a group exercise for solving problems. Any amount of players can play. Ask the participants to form a circle. Let the participants walk towards the middle of the circle with their eyes closed. There they should grab other participants hands with theirs. Now the participants are allowed to open their eyes and look at the newly formed Gordian knot. Together they now should come up with a plan how they would open the knot without letting go of each other’s hands: for example by climbing over a fellow participant. The game is continued as long as the knot is being solved.
