The faint suggestion of white lines in the pattern on the grey tiles draws our attention, and fools our eyes into thinking the straight green lines bend.
The gif clip begins at 2 minutes 53 seconds.
There is a 50 second film clip of “Don Redman and his Orchestra”, which did the music for it, beginning at the 26 second mark.
There is not a plot as such, but the music is the important content.
A bit tedious…. and I think a bad translation or copy.
But since I can’t totally resist a puzzle…
Some late night guesses…
1. Tag
2. Musical chairs
3. Hide and seek
4.
5.
6. I can’t remember what is called, but somebody yells “freeze!”and you must.
7. Simon says.
8. Marbles
9. Leapfrog?
10.
11.
12.
13. I spy
14.
15. Tug-O-War.
1 {I thought ‘tag’ but it says chased by two people and only one is it in tag}
2 Musical chairs *
3 Hide & seek *
4 Hop scotch
5 ?
6 Spud or Red Light/Green Light
7 Simon Says *
8 Marbles *
9 Leapfrog? *
10 Sack race
11 The Floor is Lava
12 Cops & Robbers? (not really a formal game)
13 (I didn’t get it, but I like Susan’s answer)
14 ?
15 Tug of War*
‘Red Rover’ might have multiple chasers, but I never played it. Like you, ‘tag’ is all I got; but too many chasers. There are also varieties of tag; freeze tag was my favorite. I think there might have been a version where each tagged person became an additional it, until everyone was it. It’s hard to remember so long ago (but it’s a fun exercise to try).
Number 5 is probably THIS. I’ve never heard of it, but Susan’s observation of a “bad translation or copy” is probably accurate.
I could find nothing for number 14.
Since some names were obviously changed to Indian ones, it makes sense that an Indian game would have been included or substituted.
A while back we had another puzzle, also badly translated, with info missing, and with Indian names substituted.
It was impossible to finish in that condition.
Probably both came from an Indian publication, or website, rather carelessly borrowing puzzles from an English one.
If there’s a BatCave in Sure-Would Forest, why not a Scarlet in the BatMobil?
It’s about as right as Robin in the BatBassetMobil. Plus I set a 😉
It was a pun on shades of red including the locations.

I’m guessing it’s
a) hot outside
b) cool on the tile floor and
c) within range of at least a fan or preferably an AC.
That, or he’s pretending that he’s an X-wing Starfighter.

I can finally see one of those 3-d pictures!
…and without staring at it for minutes—(I have NEVER seen those 3D pics)
She’s had a checkered past…
Let’s hope she’s thinking outside the box.

Nope.
All of them.
They’re all straight.

But none do.

Where’d all the clouds go?
I’m wondering more like, where did the rest of Europe go?
You know, like France and Germany?
But this is an odd angle, probably an unfamiliar satellite view….
added to the fact that I’m too used to Mercator projections, that stretch the Northern regions disproportionately.
I’m betting it’s a landscape drawing graphics program. I played with one once but I never got this good.
Germany is in the middle of the scene. France is to the left. Looking from Italy to Scandinavia.
I know where they are, thanks….
I recognised all the shapes.
I only meant the continent looked too small to contain them where I know they should be.
….
But as I said, I think it’s because I’m used to our old wall maps, the Mercator ones, that make the countries look bigger as you go north.
That’s because they make all latitudes the same width… which is far from reality….
so when I see reality, it looks wrong.

Won’t that ship’s captain be embarrassed when he finds out he’s parked at the wrong intersection?
This artist is pierless.
For that you get this….

He is in Central Park, and somebody knew he was coming.
I thought it was future-projection.

I agree with yours for the ones I didn’t finish.
You’re right about Tag… But what else?
I was forgetting that only It gives chase.
Isn’t there a game where everybody else chases It?
‘Red Rover’ might have multiple chasers, but I never played it. Like you, ‘tag’ is all I got; but too many chasers. There are also varieties of tag; freeze tag was my favorite. I think there might have been a version where each tagged person became an additional it, until everyone was it. It’s hard to remember so long ago (but it’s a fun exercise to try).
I think that does happen to the chaser in Red Rover.. if he he catches someone that person stays with him and chases others.
I THINK.
It’s only been a few hundred years since I played it.
Number 5 is probably THIS. I’ve never heard of it, but Susan’s observation of a “bad translation or copy” is probably accurate.

That sounds fun, and certainly fits the description.
I agree.

“Help! Help! I’m talking and I can’t shut up!”
Hey I resemble that remark!
Love the art work, love the pun…
A little confused about why there’s a BatCave in Sure-Would Forest.
Look in the other seat…
… it’s Robin!
Scarlet.
😉
Why?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Scarlet
I know who Will Scarlet is, but he wouldn’t be in the BatCar.
Robin would.
If there’s a BatCave in Sure-Would Forest, why not a Scarlet in the BatMobil?
It’s about as right as Robin in the BatBassetMobil. Plus I set a 😉

If I remember correctly, it’s Sparrow.
True. The human version has Robin.
