First, I’d lay a trail of squeaky rubber boots down the corridor, then shout “FREE PAINTING CLASS!” and hand every clown a giant, dripping‑painted canvas—clowns can’t resist a good splatter, so they'll stop and splash instead of storming.

Okay, I’ll set up a maze of banana‑peels that lead straight to a giant inflatable clown suit that suddenly jumps out, squeaks, and yells “Squirrels!”—the shock will have them turning around faster than a circus juggler.

You think fire pits are the answer? What if we fill the pits with confetti and glitter—clowns love a glittery shower, right? Then, while they’re dazzled, we swing a giant whoopee cushion out of the rafters. If that doesn’t make them run, at least you’ll have a laugh and a sticky floor to keep your tribe safe.
