Line Up is a starting game first played on the original version of Takeshi's Castle.
Lots of rolled up bibs are hanging from ropes in the air. When the game starts, all the contestants have to run out from behind a set of doors and grab a bib for themselves. They then need to unroll it and put it on.
All the bibs have one of six characters on; either "Fu", "un", "ta", "ke", "shi" or "jou". When they're wearing a bib, the contestants have to find five other people, each with a different bib. When they're in a group with a different character each, the contestants have to line up to spell out "Fuun Takeshi Jou" ("Operation Takeshi's Castle").
Once in the right order, they must tie their legs together, just like in a three-legged race – except this is a seven-legged version. Then it's a race to the finishing line.
All the groups that get past the finish line before the final whistle blows move onto the next game. Anyone who wasn't quick enough and didn't get into a group, therefore not reaching the finish, has lost and is out.
