Beginners (6-7 years old): Played in a smaller group with a smaller designated play area, making it easier to follow the game. Players must respond loudly and clearly when the Granny asks, “Where are you?” Children explore the environment safely, noticing subtle sounds, movements, and changes around them. They are encouraged to ask questions and reflect on unexpected events. This level supports curiosity and wonders by allowing children to experiment gradually, observe outcomes, and develop a sense of openness to exploring new ways of moving and interacting.

Advanced learners (8-9 years old): Larger play area, with players responding more quietly. Continuous movement is encouraged, without mandatory pauses. Children explore more complex spatial relationships and perceive subtle audio and body cues, improving situational awareness and attention. They are invited to wonder: “What might happen if I approach differently?” or “How will others react to my movement?” They actively investigate cause and effect, try alternative strategies, and notice emerging patterns. This level fosters deeper curiosity, a stronger sense of wonder, and encourages creative and flexible thinking in dynamic situations.

Experts (9–10 years old): Largest play area, possibly with multiple groups playing simultaneously. Players move almost silently, and the Granny must rely on subtle cues. Faster, more complex movement patterns and multiple interactions increase the challenge. Children are encouraged to formulate hypotheses, test new strategies, and reflect on unexpected outcomes. They explore joint movement, anticipate others’ actions, and take calculated risks while staying open to surprises. This level emphasizes high-level curiosity, imaginative exploration, and creative openness, allowing children to experience wonder in every interaction and continuously adapt to evolving situations.
