Question

What happens if two people say "padlock jinx" at the same time?

Community Answer

Then that would be another jinx starter. The person to say "jinx" after that wins.

Question

Can I cough when I'm jinxed?

Community Answer

No, you can't. If you're sick, I suggest not playing the game, as coughing means you lose.
