Fursuit games

Grab My Bacon!: Pretty simple; fursuiters line up on opposing walls, and on GO, they run to grab the "bacon" in the center, and then back to their own side. But there might be a catch to this one...

Hungry Hungry Fursuits: You've seen the hippo game, now try the life-sized version. Be rolled back and forth by a partner to catch as many balls as you can in your basket.

Pop My Bubble: Get a gang of fursuiters together for a last person standing game. Each suiter will have 2 balloons ties to their ankles, and on GO, you must try to pop everyone elses' ballloons while keeping at leadt one of yours un-popped! There will be 2 rounds and some surprises.
