If the group likes to horseplay, or everyone knows each other well enough to sit on them you shouldn't use fold up chairs. They sometimes get broken with our group. Oh and I like the idea of more than one empty chair.

great game, thought it was going to be a little bit lame, but it worked very well. We played with a group of 25 and found it helpful to have 2 or 3 empty chairs.

My group loves this one. We play it often. It's great fun. One problem though - we have one young woman who gets really motion sick because the game tends to get going in one direction around the circle. We havce sort of a small group, so I think it might change directions more often if the circle were larger.

My youth loved this game but it is very physical, we had a couple minor incidents. But they thought it was hilarious.

I admit that I didn't think this would work with my mostly Sr. High youth, but they loved it and asked to do it again. I enjoyed watching it too.

My youth group played this game...except, we didn't use an extra chair. Therefore, some people got stuck sitting on someone's lap...

It took a few minutes for them to get the hang of it, but when they did, it was a riot. The one searching for the chair didn't have time to look around before it was gone. They started moving so quickly simultaneously. It was a lot of fun with a lot of laughs.

Our group loved this game, but we eventually had to stop playing it because it always resulted in an injury or broken chair.

This game was so much fun for my 1st and 2nd grade group! They loved it and wanted to play again and again!

Played this game with our youth group of 35 middle and high schoolers. It was fantastic!

My Youthgroup loved this game. It is simple and fun.

A fun variation on this game is that "it" can call out "switch" and the kids have to change the direction that they are shuffling.

Excellent game. We have played it many times over the years with our group and it is always fun.

This has become a favorite at our teen center. The kids love it. The broken chairs are worth it when we hear them say "Do you remember that one time we played the buns game and so and so's chair broke?! That was so much fun!! Actually, it's one of my boss's favorites. He gets intense with the kids. haha.

We play this quite often in our youth group of around 30 people. We also added a twist where the person who is supposed to move to the empty chair can choose to "tap" the chair and thereby change the direction of the flow from going clockwise to counter-clockwise, and vice versa.

I do agree on the folding chair part, we've had a few chairs broken that way. The extra empty chair is a good suggestion, we will have to try that

This game is awesome!!! My youth group loved it. I did take them about 5 minutes to really get the flow of it but once they did everyone had a blast.

We did use folding chairs and at first it was okay, but when the game picked up the pace I understood the recommendation to use regular chairs. The teens in our youth group are comfortable with each other so they and the chairs were being knocked all over the place. They loved it!!!
