So there are clearly mutations and variances in how the game is played the world over. I mentioned this on the desk and a colleague said that's the version he grew up with on the south coast of the UK, near Brighton, only there you get to hit the hole-server just the once, and if he manages to grab your finger while it's inside the hole he gets to hit you twice. Over there, apparently, they call it "ballgazing", and there's an added rule: if you manage to jab your finger through the hole before they remove it, you get to hit the offender ten times. One guy even claimed that it had travelled over from Australia, The Circle Game emanating from the dusty plains of the antipodean landmass. Others are adamant that a Detroit schoolyard is responsible. A lot of people say it originated somewhere on the West Coast, maybe Los Angeles. But where did it come from? There are conflicting reports. So it's older than the show we know that much. It's very boyish.īut where does it come from? Who, if it can be traced that far, started it? And when? Only one person at a time gets to enjoy it. But unlike your Stuck in the Muds or Tags, The Circle Game isn't about playfulness – it's about deception, harm, trickery and bruises. It's one of many adolescent games that has no aim, no end point. The circle must be below the waist you can't just hold it up to someone's face and smack them. If the person(s) look at the circle, you are allowed to strike them on the arm with your fist. The aim is simple: you create a circle with your thumb and forefinger – like the "OK" hand gesture (also known as the "That's a Spicy Meat-a-Ball" gesture) – and you draw someone's gaze to it. It's just meant to keep going until all parties forget it existed. In fact, even The Circle Game has earned its place in the history books.
