without any help

The player is starting at a predefined position and has to reach the donkey by moving straight forward. The player to place his tail nearest to the correct position wins the game.

teams and verbal commands

The game can be played by several competing teams, where the teams help its members to find the correct aim by giving verbal hints.

steering a robot

Similar to the game robot, the blindfolded player can be steered by clapping on his right and left shoulders.
