HOW TO PLAY
1

Prepare a set of small containers, each holding one recognizable scent such as cumin, rosewater, cinnamon, or bar soap shavings, numbered but unlabeled.

2

Blindfold each player or simply ask them to close their eyes and keep them closed on trust.

3

Pass each numbered container under the player's nose one at a time, giving them a few seconds to smell before writing down a guess.

4

After all containers have been sampled, remove blindfolds and reveal the correct identity of each scent.

5

Whoever correctly identified the most scents wins; ties can be broken with a bonus mystery scent.
