Too bad not all my hobbies can go through the door. Luckily, I am a drummer and I read books. I’m an archer with only arrows because I can’t take my bow through the doors.

On the other hand, if I just take all my hobbies through the door, I can go.

Does he know the famous French market called “Padi Pado”?!!!
When you get into this strange market, you cannot buy anything you’re looking for…

For instance, I can buy some vegetables but I will never find any fruit!

Talking about the ‘Paint the moon’ game, we have the same game in France called “Dessine-moi une lune” (‘Draw me a moon’).
It is the same principle, with children (even adults sometimes…) going in a circle.
The first person draws a moon in the air with an imaginary pencil and passes the pencil on to the next person who draws a moon, the first person (knowing the secret of course, often an adult) says “Désolé(e), elle n’est pas belle ta lune” (‘Sorry, it’s not a lovely moon’) Then the pencil is given to the next person saying ‘Thank you’ and drawing his/her moon. The first person says, “Ouah, elle est magnifique ta lune !” (‘Wow, what a lovely moon!’) And so on, until everyone figures out the secret…
As the game progresses, the children who have figured out the secret can give their opinion on the loveliness of the moon.

By: Tim Drown

Tim Drown — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 00:55:36 +0000

I would agree with you but I think there might be something deeper than that. It seems to me that there is something in our human nature that looks for patterns in order to understand something better and find something meaningful. If other people are able to respond to a pattern in meaningful ways, I, too, want to look for a pattern that makes sense out of something that is nonsense to me now. We assume the world can make sense and we look for it. We don’t like nonsense.

By: The Game Gal

The Game Gal — Wed, 02 Oct 2019 13:52:27 +0000

In reply to Tim Drown.

That’s a great question, Tim. There are an endless number of answers, but I think it does still take some creativity to find an answer and a non-answer in a clever pair, and that can be fun. But I think the real fun of the game comes in playing with someone who doesn’t know the rule yet – then it’s very entertaining to watch someone struggle with a secret answer that seems so obvious, and to offer them clues that seem to confuse them more, not less. What do you think?

By: Tim Drown

Tim Drown — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:02:45 +0000

The answers that fit the pattern are almost endless. I would like to get some feedback on why this kind of game is engaging. In your opinion, why do these kind of games hold our attention?
