- High tempo

Progressions/eventual.

- Instead of calling out numbers, show them on your hand. This forces players to be aware and maintain concentration so that they can recognize and process what box they need to break out to.

- Math. Add/subtract 2 numbers and answer is target box. Players have to manage cognitive processes to both work out the answer/target box, recognize where it is and then react to get there.

- Knockout system. Promotes competition and speeds up cognitive and physical process. Last player to arrive at target box is ‘out’. Last person to remain in competition is the winner.

- Employ defenders on perimeter of each box. Promotes creativity and invention of ‘attackers’ to get into the target box.

Regression.

- Increase size of boxes

- Reduce distance between boxes.
