Game: Guess the hidden code

Unread postby Asheera » 04 Nov 2008, 17:41

Hello everyone, this is a nice and fun game. Here's how it goes:

There's a special "code" that you'll have to decipher. You'll have to bring 'something' with you (a word), and it depends on the word you bring and the current code if you can pass the Green Glass Door with it or not.

After you pass the Door, it's not over yet. Your objective is to decipher the code, not to pass the door. Passing the door just gives you more clues about the code (since you know that the word you used bypassed the test)

The first one to decipher the code wins the round. There are multiple rounds, and each one has a different code to break.

After the end of a round, if the winner wants he/she can take my position and organize the next one. If not then I'll continue it. ;)

After you post a word, you must wait for my response before posting a new one; you can post only one word in a 'turn'. Also, trying to guess the code also counts as a word, so this should discourage people from guessing blindly :P


Let's take an example.

Let's say the round's code is to have double letters consecutively in your word. I start with "I bring a book, I can pass the door."

Then person A says: "I bring a box.", while Person B says: "I bring a spoon.".

Then I say that Person A can't pass the door with what he/she brings, but Person B can.

Then they guess again. Person A says: "I bring a fork." and Person B: "I'll bring cups."

I say both can't get in with those things.

Then Person B attempts to guess the code, but fails. Person A says: "I'll bring food."

My answer is that Person B guessed the code wrong, and that Person A can come through the door.

Then finally Person A figures the code out and says: "The Code is: double letters consecutively.".

I say it's correct, and then Person A is the winner. :)

He/She will be able to take my position and organize the next round, if he/she likes. Otherwise I'll continue it.


Also, I may give clues from time to time (I'll 'bring' something like the rest of the players, but of course since I know the code I will always pass the door) if I see that the code is too hard :D


A final warning: the code can be very varied - it can even be tied with your username (the one who posted the word) or with the name of the poster above you. Or it can even have nothing to do with the letters! Example of another code: the word must start with the same letter the name of the poster above you starts.

(btw, maybe it would be helpful if you summarized what people who are in took with them, so we don't have to go back and check all the time.)
