Performance / communal game for 3 people to skip rope using just their iPhones.

2 people swing their iphones (as the ends of the rope) which creates a skipping rope sound. The person in he middle has to jump in sync with the swinging. If he/ she doesn't the rope hits that persons pants, plays that sound and goes silent (ie no more feedback since the swinging stops)

There's also a single person version where one person holds two iPhones as ends of the rope;)

We use the iPhone's accelerometer to determine when the 'rope' is being swung and whether the person skipping is in sync with the rope.
