Do you want to be close with someone-you’ve- just-known overnight? Do you want to know your partner's secrets and let him/her reveal it in an interesting way?What else do you not know about him/her? Would you like to ask him/her your surprise questions that he/she is not expecting, yet your partner is required to answer it?
If your answer is “yes”, then this blog is for you!
This game is called 20 Questions! This game will reveal secrets. Yes you heard it right…Secrets!
The mechanic is very simple: Just ask questions!
How many? Don’t ask me that stupid question (just kidding), it’s on the title! ^^
What materials do we need to start with this thrilling and revealing game?
Do you have a double-edged blade or any sharp knife at home? Do you have at least one liter of concentrated hydrochloric acid? Do you have a thick rope or a chain or anything that could suffocate someone? And you should prepare a lighter and a barrel full of gasoline for this game. You need these materials in case your partner lied to you, torture him/her! Ha ha ha.
On the other hand, do you have acting skills? You will need this in case you don’t want to reveal your secrets. If your partner asked you a question and you’re not ready to reveal it yet because you think it’s too private, then just act like you’re feeling dizzy, or you could act as if you really fainted, or anything that is really convincing, just to keep your secrets unrevealed!
Actually, you could easily cheat on this game, so if you want to have a successful, secret-revealing game, then you should pick the right partner for you, someone who is dedicated and willing to reveal his/her top-secrets, and so should be you.
So have you found an honest partner now who is willing to reveal his/her secrets and someone who wants to know your secrets as well? Then let’s start!
Games without rules are not so interesting, so here are some of the rules we need to follow in this game:
1. No follow-up questions. However, answers should be revealing and in complete details, not just yes or no.
2. You may not repeat questions that were already asked.
3. You may not lie or else… (it’s up to your partner! ^^)
4. The secrets revealed should be just between you and your partner.
You and your partner could ask 10 questions apiece. Who would be the first one to ask is up to you, you may do paper-scissor-stone, or you may flip a coin, or you may roll a dice.
Now, let’s start revealing secrets!
You may ask any questions you like, ranging from most shallow to deepest, and most serious to most private. You may not ask follow-up questions, so your question should start with how or why rather than “Do you” or “don’t you”, you don’t want to receive answers like yes or no and then pass your turn just like that, right?
Be smart, always remember that according to rule #2, you may not repeat questions, right? So if you want to know something, go straight to it. NEVER hesitate, or else your partner might be the first to take it and you may not ask him/her about that again.
You are free to tell lies, but what’s the point of playing this game if you would only lie, you are taking the essence of it away. Don’t do that, okay? We are playing this game because we want to reveal secrets, right? Then let’s reveal our secrets and let others’ secrets be revealed as well.
So that’s it! How many secrets have you revealed huh? Did you have enough? If not, then go play this game again, more secrets revealed, more fun!
You may enhance this very simple game of revealing secrets by adding some spice or should I say punishments for disobeying the rules. Just don’t change the rules, okay?
WARNING!
This game of revealing secrets could hurt you, for things we don’t know or secrets just revealed may not be good to hear. This game could frustrate you as well. Remember, by playing this game, you turn yourself into an open book, no lies, and no secrets.
On the other hand, you may feel free as a bird, or you may feel as if you’re in equilibrium, or in a swing that sways back and forth, for you had said all the things that you kept for a long time. Not to mention those pairs who played this game, revealed their secrets, are no longer singles now. Yes, you heard it right! There are relationships that started through this game.
Last warning: If you’re going to play this secret-revealing game alone, meaning only the two of you, be careful, for there could be more thrilling games ahead. ^^
No more secrets…
Reveal it all!
Enjoy revealing secrets!
High-fives!
