Highly social, brilliant and occasionally annoying game. First recorded occurrence of it was in ancient Hipposwotania in 467 BC. The game has been refined over generations and the rules are now codified in the Pauselopedia.
Basic rules as follows:
RULE 1: When someone shouts “Pause!”, everyone in the room has to freeze completely still, including the person who shouted “Pause!”
RULE 2: You can only move again when the shouter shouts “Play!”
RULE 3: The shouter needs to hold their breath between shouting “Pause!” and “Play!”
RULE 4: If the shouter breathes before they say “Play!”, the “Pause!” is broken and everyone can move again.
RULE 5: Each person is only allowed to shout “Pause!” once per day, and they can do it whenever they want.
