  • Question
    Can you explain this a little more?
    Community Answer
    Most of the time this game is played casually with a few friends. List multiple objects around you, and ask them to guess which one you are thinking of. One of these objects, however, must be black, and you cannot list it last. The one you are "thinking of" is the object you listed directly after the black one. Your friends have to figure out the pattern.

    Well, it depends on how many people you tell. If you only tell one person, then it should be fine, as long as they don't tell anyone else. However, you should try your hardest to keep it a secret.
