  • Question
    How should I dispose of my secret note?
    Community Answer
    Tear it up into small pieces, and throw them away. If you can, try throwing the pieces away into different trash cans. If you are very careful, you can also burn the note instead.
  • Question
    What if an enemy finds out how the note works?
    Community Answer
    Abort the mission immediately. Stick the note in your pocket, or conceal the note by closing your fist around it. Find a way to burn the note as quickly as possible.
  • Question
    Do I put the note inside of it or just write it on the cover?

    You probably write it inside to keep it secret. That is the purpose of doing this.

  • Question
    How do I hide the paper in my hand?

    Since it's so small, you can put it in the palm of your hand. Then, make a fist around it to hide it from view. It should fit although it might poke your hand a little!
  • Question
    How do I transfer a message from one paper to another?

    It can be used as a nice way to fold a decorative note. It is also small, and can be exchanged more inconspicuously than a large sheet of paper.

  • Question
    Can I pass the secret note square to a friend in class?

    Yes, of course you can. Just be careful not to get in trouble with your teacher. If your teacher specifically states that you should not pass notes in class, it would be best to wait until class is over.

    Does this work with white printer paper too?
