Name a Country

Choose a number from 1-10. Multiply that by 9, and then add the two digits together. Then subtract 4. Then, think of a letter that corresponds to the number. Ex) 1=A, 2=B, 3=C etc. Now, think of a country that starts with your letter. Then think of an animal that begins with the last letter of the country. Then think of a fruit that begins with the end of the animal. I know what you got. Denmark, Kangaroo, and Orange. If you didn’t, then you need to take 3rd grade math again.

Rock, Paper, Lizard, Scissors, Spock!

This is a variant to rock, paper, scissors you all know and love. Eh, well I can’t find myself to love a rock… but anyway! Here are the statistics.

Rock beats scissors, beats lizard,  loses to paper, and loses to spock.

Paper beats rock, beats lizard, loses to scissors, and loses to spock.

Scissors beats paper, beats lizard, loses to rock, and loses to spock.

Lizard beats spock, and loses to everything else.

Spock beats everything else except lizard. Spock loses to lizard.

Did you get all that?

Okay. This is how you make the hand signs for spock and lizard. Spock, obviously is a Vulcan Hand Sign. You just split your middle finger and your ring finger apart, creating a V. Lizard is just a lizard mouth. You put your four fingers as the top of his mouth, and the thumb as the bottom of his mouth. Its a great game, and makes rock, paper, scissors a lot more complicated. YAY! Oh, one more thing. Every time you start, instead of just saying rock, paper, scissors, you say rockpaperlizardscissorsspock! Yep, its out of order, but it makes it roll off your tongue. I made this game myself! (its based on the “Big Bang Theory“, the comedy show) 

The Most Legendary Trick Game Ever Made: Hand Signs

This game is based with a huge amount of tricks, lies, slyness, betrayal, laughter, rom- (OKAY WE GET THE POINT!) As I was saying, this game is based on hand signs. Here is how you play.

Get all your friends and make them sit in a circle.

Everyone must tell everyone there hand sign. Just create one, and share it to everyone else.

Everyone MUST KNOW ALL THE HAND SIGNS IN THE GROUP! If not, a huge amount of confusion will occur.

Now, everyone must put down their heads. The supervisor (aka, most eldest and powerful) taps one person on their shoulder. He/she is the one with the invisible time bomb. (yes I know, it sounds apocalyptic.)

Everyone raises their heads, and the game starts.

In order for the time bomb owner to send the time bomb to another person to prevent it from blowing up in their face, he/she must make a hand sign to another person. This hand sign must be the one he/she introduced beforehand. Then, the one receiving the time bomb must make the hand sign the time bomber made. Ex) if the bomber made the rat hand sign, then the receiver must make the rat hand sign. Here is the catch. If the group doesn’t find out who the time bomber is in the next minute, everyone, except the time bomber, dies. So take the bomb quickly! You can defuse the bomb by making the hand signs of all the people who had the bomb, in quick succession. But this can only happen when time is up. Then, the time bomber loses. This game is very complicated, and I’ll show you an example.

“Hey guys! Lets play Hand Signs!” I yell to my friends. They all agreed to, and they sat in a circle. I was the supervisor.

“Okay, put down your heads.” They all obliged, and I went around to tap somebody. I tapped my friend Jonathan.

“Raise your heads! Show your hand signs.” Everyone showed their hand signs. I took in the information, and waited for everyone to memorize them.

“Okay! We start!” Silence filled the air. Jonathan’s eyes darted from person to person. I felt that if I had the time bomb, I could win. I showed his hand sign quickly. He responded. I had the time bomb. No one seemed to notice. But, I could lose if Jonathan betrayed me. So, I showed my hand sign to Zach, who didn’t respond. Dang it! He didn’t see. Gah, thirty seconds left. I showed my hand sign to Andrew, and he responded with my hand sign. Uh oh, Zach seemed to notice. I was too busy looking at Zach to notice that Andrew passed it on to Jonathan. “Times up!” I yell. Oscar suddenly made the hand signs of Jonathan, me, and Andrew. But, the bomb wasn’t defused. He forgot the extra sign for Jonathan. Nobody said anything. I saw sweat drip down Zach’s cheek. He then made the sign of Jonathan, me, Andrew, then Jonathan again. Zach defused the bomb!

Yep, its pretty action packed. But, secrecy is the best thing in this game. Also, a referee must sit outside the circle to see if the defusing of the bomb was correct. The referee can still play, he just can’t defuse the bomb.
