The rules

How to play

1

One player is chosen as the chaser (Vish).

2

They run around tagging others, saying 'Vish!' each time they tag someone.

3

A tagged player must freeze in place immediately and cannot move until a free player runs over, touches them, and shouts 'Amrit!' The chaser wins when every player is frozen simultaneously.

4

After a win, choose a new Vish and start again.

5

For a harder version, add a second Vish when the group is large.

Keep it fair

Insist that a freeze only counts if the chaser clearly says 'Vish' out loud, no silent tags. This removes all doubt about whether a player is frozen.
