Description
Description: all players sit in a circle. Only one player should know how to play and what the secret is; this player is the leader at first, until others catch on. This person points at random people in the circle each time saying either "click" or "bang"; they should make it sound and look like what they’re doing has to do with math or the order they are going etc…The secret: it really doesn’t matter who is pointed to, what is said, when they are pointed to, who it begins with or who it ends with, it just depends on who speaks first after the clicks and bangs are done. So the person who begins (the one that knows what’s going on) will declare whoever talks first dead by saying "you’re dead". That person isn’t "out" or anything, it’s just for effect. The game continues until the players catch on. If somebody thinks they get it, the leader gives them a chance to say the clicks and bangs and they get to announce who is dead; the leader will then be able to tell if they understand the secret if they announce the right person as being dead.
Make sure that once the players begin to catch on, they don’t spoil it for the others by letting the cat out of the bag. Also, the game is best if played with ten or more people.
