Twister
Colored dot game
Twister is a party game where players place hands and feet on colored circles on a floor mat according to spinner instructions, resulting in tangled, contorted positions and inevitable collapse.
The game became a sensation after its 1966 debut and remains a staple of social gatherings: Let's play Twister. (Lowercase twister is a tornado.)
