How to play Stop the Music
- Players
- Any number
- Time
- 5–10 minutes
- Good for
- Kids’ birthdays, Christmas parties, the pabitin-and-parlor-games hour.
- Play music from any speaker.
- Choose how long a round should last, then tap Start.
- When the screen says STOP, whoever is holding the parcel (or standing) is out.
Questions
- Does it play music?
- No, and on purpose: use whatever playlist the party already has. This is the referee that decides when the music stops.
- Why not just pause the music by hand?
- Because the host can be accused of favouring the birthday kid. A random timer cannot.
