You need the other player to do everything correctly. If they fail, switch places.

Question

What is the reason for playing?

Community Answer

It is a good game for little kids at about five years old. People grow out of the game, but this is a good childhood game.

Question

If there are only two players, can we take turns being Simon on every command?

Community Answer

Take turns after the player that's not Simon gets eliminated. This makes more sense than taking turns on every command.

Question

Does Simon do the actions as well?

Community Answer

Yes, if Simon does the actions as well, it can help to trick participants to obey when they shouldn't. Simon is allowed to do the actions but does not have to do them.
