From one small website a phenomenon is born! If you see or hear this page showcased somewhere do tell me about it because I'd love to know.
Once upon a time we invented a great game called "Escape From Eluned". In truth you've probably played it yourself under a different name.
The rules are as follows (see bottom of page for alternative version)...
1) Get a friend very drunk - one called Eluned works best.
2) Balance as many things as you can on them without waking them up.
3) Take photographic evidence.
4) Remove all the items, thus leaving the victim unaware that anything has happened.
5) Create a website. Sit back and watch friend turn red.

Eluned - pronounced "ill-lynn-ned"

When Eluned is drunk and thinks she's on her own, she is quite the mover.

Eluned's family like to have a game or two as well...

"Parents"
Believe it or not, Eluned's parents love this website and at Christmas decided to have a game for themselves! Thanks Mr and Mrs W.

"McDamians"
Spongy helps abuse the family.

"The Wizard Of Oz"
Eluned's cousin from Australia, Kristian.

"The Wizard Of Oz Two"
Eluned's parents strike again... Mr W found this pic on his camera and thought it too good not to share!
Thing is, there's loads of these photos. If anyone else has any more photos of "Escape From Eluned" please do send them on.
I'm thinking work. I'm thinking uni. I'm thinking family. More people must have played this with Eluned.
In the meantime, why don't you start playing at home? The rules are simple... and the fun and endless reminders go on for ever!
The next challenge we have set ourselves is to actually get Eluned playing "Escape From Eluned" in an "Escape From Eluned" t-shirt. Anyone else who manages that challenge with their own friends, send in your photos and I'll pop you on the site too.
Comedy goldmine!
Here's proof that anyone can play with some more of my friends...

"Tom"
Our man in Japan.

"Frazer"
Dublin was just too much.

"Claire"
And me... she fell asleep on my arm so I couldn't move!

"Blind Drunk"
Sorry Paul - just because you're blind doesn't mean you get special treatment!

"Gymnast"

"Hairy Pie and Eric"
Mmmm... booze crooze...

"Gaz"
Gaz and his Mr.Happy!
And finally... your games.
Since I put this page up as a tribute to my good friend Eluned, I've had numerous people write to me with their own games.
Here are the best of the people I don't know!

"Dermot Reeve"
Notable mention to HdotNET for this photo.
Not only was he the first person ever to write in saying "I've played Escape From Eluned with my housemate", but also he made such a sterling effort. Bloody marvellous mate!

"It's Just Not Cricket"
Sent in by Cates at the excellent Bad Gas site - "Smith is our Eluned"

"Gatecrasher"
From Cynical Graham - some bloke who gatecrashed their party!

"CTO"
From the good people of Uptown Computers in San Diego.

"Jenga Phil"
Mad Nick bringing a new dimension of skill to Escape From Eluned.

"Bloody Mary"
From Guy somewhere near Concord, CA. "Note the crusty bloody mary around the lips", he says.

"Escape From Trophies"
College game all the way from Oz, sent in by Flashman.

"Knackered Macklin"
Now a Doctor of History - this fine example was sent in by Dunk.

"Cushions"
Simple genius. Escape From Eluned in it's purest form - thanks to Johny Boy.

"The Leaning Tower of Noone"
Mammoth photo story sent in by "J - the whore" with beer balancing act by Zebedee Myopis.

"Goth"
From Nick - "Vodka is bad", he advises.

"Pac-Man Attack"
Sent in by Mark Hughes - Pac-Man finds a victim in Colin Johnstone.
And they even managed to do a real-life Darren Day... possibly the funniest one of the lot!

"Israel"
Yes - it's travelled as far as Israel! Alon sent this pic of himself in, noting that he only woke up when the aerosol fell off and smacked him on the head!
I've also been emailed with alternative rules for a game called "Benaroo".
This time you take it turns to each balance a single item on the passed out person without waking them up. The object is to get as much stuff on the person, with the winner being the player who last managed to successfully balance an item with stirring the victim.
The loser is obviously the one who takes it that step to far and wakes the drunkard, making them 'aroo!' They then get the full blame from the enraged victim and have to tidy the mess.
The pioneers who bought this version of the game to my attention are Tom, Helen, and Drew from the Stourbridge Elmfield bunch, who first played this on their friend Ben (Bromsgrove King Ed's people also are keen players).
The downside is the difficulty in actually catching the Benaroo in action. So far they haven't managed to do it. If you play and do manage to capture the moment, you know what to do.

"Jezaroo"
Helen manages to capture a game in progress... but we still need the moment of 'aroo' to be caught on camera!
