How it works

About this sport

Blink an Eye is a traditional Danish game fostering social interaction and quick thinking, played in a circle with one person in the middle trying to catch others who swap places by exchanging subtle signals like winks, smiles, or sounds. Adaptations for wheelchair users include reducing the circle size and providing assistants for mobility support, while visually impaired participants can use bright clothing and sound cues such as bells. The game emphasizes communication, inclusion, and fun, with flexible competitiveness, making it suitable for mixed-ability groups in schools, festivals, or sport centers.
