Summary
The rules of the game are relatively straightforward, and the consequence for losing is quite clear.
The origins of the game are somewhat unclear; during a stroll through Boston with Lloyd and Lil Miss Chic Therapy, we stumbled upon a fountain that created a dome-like effect.
Bets were placed on the challenge to enter the dome without succumbing to the splashes of water.
This particular attempt at the game proved somewhat futile since, despite maneuvering through the “water net” to reach the center, one inevitably ends up wet, given that gravity dictates that the water cascades downward!
Thoroughly soaked yet thoroughly entertained (it takes minimal effort to amuse us), we continued our exploration of Boston, which mainly consisted of wandering aimlessly and pausing occasionally for refreshments such as coffee or ice cream.
Our exploration continued until we encountered a series of fountains that each intermittently shot water to varied heights and timings. We could not resist the opportunity, and bets were placed on our ability to dart across the fountain without becoming wet.
What followed was a scene involving eight adults attempting to traverse the fountains without getting splashed! (Indeed, a few spectators joined in, unable to resist the fun they observed!)
I must take a moment to commend my performance in this game during this instance! #HumbleBrag As it turns out, practice indeed leads to improvement.
With a mix of joy and laughter, we observed how a few participants interpreted the challenge differently!
