Question

Are you able to play this game alone?

Community Answer

Yes, you can, but it is not recommended. Also, I point out that it is less likely to work if you are by yourself since spirits are using your subconscious to move the coin. It is better for you to play with a friend.

Question

Are the predictions in the game true?

Community Answer

Maybe, but you shouldn't take them too seriously. Not all spirits tell the truth.

At least two, but not more than around five because then someone's hand could touch the paper.

Question

How many people can play this game?

Community Answer

You should have at least two people, so you won't be scared. You don't have to turn off the lights and light a candle so that the spirit will come; this is all just to make it creepy.

Question

Is it harmful to us?

Community Answer

It depends on each individual's affinity with the spiritual world. If spirits visit you during the game, you shouldn't worry -- most spirits are harmless.

Question

What should we say to the spirit so that it doesn't get upset?

Community Answer

Don't take your finger(s) off the coin in the middle of a game. Do not ask the spirit things like "Make me some cereal." When you want to finish the game, drag the coin over to the "end", wait a few seconds, then take your finger off. This is so the spirit gets the message that you're done talking.

Only if you ask it for a sign that it is here - which you shouldn't, as you don't want it to interfere with the physical world.

It depends on if the spirit wants to do it for you, but it's highly likely that the spirit won't. It doesn't have use of our money in the spirit realm.

How can I talk to a specific spirit with this game?

Make sure everybody is quiet. Then say "Oh, Spirit of [insert name], we summon you to come inform us of your wisdom. Do you accept our request?" If your spirit says no, wait for one hour (no less) and try again.
