Our scouts used to do a thing called blind rope trails. As the name suggests, on the trail you were blindfolded. You followed the trail by keeping your fingers on a rope. It would lead through a forested area, sometimes low to ground meaning you were crawling, sometimes with your hands stretched high up. When hands were stretched high there was often a risk of being punched in the stomach by rogue scouts. For some it was fun, others not so much. Sometimes at the very end the trail would go low to ground and you might find yourself rolled over and your stomach sat on. We had wrestle matches which could be fun and well supervised. The rope trails had less supervision.

It's could sound like a funny / interested game. Could be with both gut punching, kicking and trampiling ;P
