Chanichim stand (or sit) in a circle with their heads down looking at the ground. When a mad calls out a predetermined word eveyone simultaneously looks up and immediately looks into someone else's eyes. The idea is because everyone is randomly choosing people on the spot, everyone will be looking into the eyes of a different person. IF two people, by chance, are looking into each others eyes and making eye contact then they are both out! They can perform a dramatic death if they wish. The trick is that when everyone looks up and into someones eyes they need stay focussed on that person (even if they're not looking back at you) and not divert their eyes around the circle because that just ruins the game. Everyone needs to look at a person and stay staring like that until the mad calls out another word which signals everyone to look down again. This game can also be played to split chanichim into pairs, that is when two ppl look at each other and go out then they are a pair.... Simple but fun!
