The Silent Game is an Australian game played in the Riverina area of New South Wales. The game can be played by all ages but is mainly played by teenagers. The Silent Game is a variation of the game Marco Polo, the aim of the game is for the person who is "it" to tag the other players while having his/her eyes closed. The game is played mainly in an artificial container filled with water intended for swimming. The player who gets "tagged" will be in for the next game. Unlike its predecessor, Marco Polo, players who are not "it" do not have to make any noises and are actually encouraged to eliminate the factor of noise.

= History = The Silent Game was created by brothers, Jarrod Sinclair and Braden Sinclair on the 16th of January 2015. The Silent Game was originally developed to increase overall physical health and well-being by using the power of silence to lower blood pressure, boost the body's immune system and decrease stress by lowering blood cortisol levels. Besides helping your physical health the Silent Game also helps train your body to be more observant of your surroundings and senses.

= Rules =


 * the player who is in must keep their eyes shut at all times, until they have made contact with another player. If the person being "it" has their eyes open underwater, they will have to go another round as being "it". If they keep opening their eyes they will be removed from the game.
 * Players can leave the pool. if someone leaves the pool while the game is being played, the person who is in can say "fish out of water". If the player is still out of the pool, the game will stop and the player out of the pool will be "it" for the next game.
