  1. Games - Colours

    Share Share Post
    Any number of players can play the game. One player thinks of a colour and another player keeps guessing colours until he guesses the one the other player is thinking of. When he guesses the right colour he follows the player who is thinking of the colour. If the player caught the player who is thinking of the colour before the player reaches a certain mark, that player is supposed to go to "Hell". He is punished by going under an arch of hands. If the player is not caught he is supposed to go to "Heaven".
