HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit in a circle with their hands cupped together in front of them.

2

One player, holding the ring secretly in cupped palms, passes their hands briefly into each seated player's cupped hands, dropping the ring into just one pair unnoticed.

3

After going all the way around the circle, the passer stands in the middle and challenges another player to guess who is holding the ring.

4

The challenged guesser has one try to name the player they believe is holding it.

5

If the guess is right, the guesser takes over as the next passer; if wrong, the original passer keeps their turn and tries again with a new round.
