Wrap the Mummy (Toilet Paper Speed Sprint): Rules, Setup & Visual Guide
Pair up into Wrappers and Mummies! You have 90 seconds to wrap your partner head-to-toe in a full roll of toilet paper like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, ending in a mummy fashion walk!
🎯 Overview: Why Everyone Loves Wrap the Mummy (Toilet Paper Speed Sprint)
Wrap the Mummy is a timeless classic for Halloween parties, birthday bashes, and sleepovers. Players divide into pairs: one player stands motionless like a statue with arms folded across their chest (the Mummy), while the other player holds a fresh roll of toilet paper (the Wrapper). When the music starts, the Wrapper must circle their partner like a tornado, wrapping ankles, legs, torso, arms, and head until the Mummy is 100% covered in white bandages before the 90-second buzzer sounds!
