The Embodied Communication Game (ECG) is an interactive, two-player game in which the participants collaborate to score as many points as possible. Each player controls a stick man, who moves around his own 2x2 box (figure 1). Each of the four quadrants of the box is coloured either red, blue, green or yellow, at random. Each player sees both boxes, and the movements within them, but can see only the colours of their own box. The players can move between quadrants at will, but each move is from the centre of each quadrant to the centre of the other quadrants, so they are unable to trace out letters or other symbols with their movements. Once both players have finished, the colours of all quadrants are revealed to both players. If they have finished on identically coloured quadrants they score a point.
