What you will need:
- A small empty room. Closet, pantry, bathroom etc. with no windows. The room should be big enough and empty enough for a single person of your size to stand in without touching the walls or doors. If you have windows, cover them so no light can come in.
- Three matches
- A method of telling time
- A writing tool and paper
HOW TO PLAY:
This game is best played alone. Your guests may not come if there’s already a crowd.
Best played at night.
Turn off all sources of noise.
Turn on the light in the room you’re using.
Start at the furthest point of your house from the room, and go from room to room calling “I’ll be ready soon!”
When you get to the room, take the paper and write “You are invited! A gathering hosted by (your name). Takes place from (time you start - an hour after start time). Bring friends!” Place the paper on the floor and say into the room, “I’m ready! Come on in!”
Wait a few moments in silence, then start counting slowly outloud. When you get to 10, strike your first match.
1) if it doesn’t light on the first try, drop it and try the second one. Repeat for the third if it doesn’t light. If the third doesn’t light, you have GATECRASHERS - uninvited guests. Don’t turn around, don’t pause to open the door. Run for the nearest light source and turn it on. The party is over.
2) if the match lights on the first strike, hold it until it burns down as far as you can bear. Greet your guests. Light your second match. If it doesn’t light, see 1).
3) If it lights, repeat 2). Greet your guests. If not, see 1).
4) strike the third match. If it lights, say “Now everyone is here!”. Count to 10 again. If done correctly, you should hear or feel something, likely a “thank you”. If silence, you’re safe anyhow. It is now safe to turn on the lights.
IF AT ANY POINT DURING THE PROCESS YOU TURN AROUND OR LOOK BEHIND YOU, SEE 1)
