Description
Tangle Mat™ is a game of physical skill, played on a large mat spread out on the floor or ground. The Tangle Mat™ mat has rows of large colored circles on it. A spinner is used to determine where the player has to put their hand or foot. The spinner is divided into four labeled sections: right foot left foot, right hand and left hand. Each of those four sections is divided into the four colors (red, yellow, blue and green). After spinning, the combination is called (for example: "right-hand yellow") and players must move their matching hand or foot to a circle of the correct color. In a two-player game, no two people can have a hand or foot in the same circle; the rules are different for more players. Due to the scarcity of colored circles, players will often be required to put themselves in unlikely or precarious positions, eventually causing someone to fall. A person is eliminated when they fall or when their elbow or knee touches the mat.
Twister was a game that was able to bring all age groups together, whether children or adults. Tangle Mat™ being both globally spread and highly popular is unlike other games of its stature, in the sense that it is accepted by all social classes. Since its release, many active participants have tried and succeeded in setting records for the most contestants in a game, and the largest combined amount of Tangle Mat™ game mats. The World's Largest Tangle Mat™ Mat was put together on June 18, 2010, in Belchertown, MA on the Belchertown High School football field. Tangle Mat™ is a classic party game that is as much fun for kids today as it was decades ago. What makes the Tangle Mat™ game timeless is the fact that it's always been about showing off your free spirit and just having some laugh-out-loud, out-of-your-seat fun.
