This game, if carried out properly, is great fun. One of the party announces that he will whisper to each person the name of some animal, which, at a given signal, must be imitated as loudly as possible.
But instead of giving the name of an animal to each, he whispers to everyone, with the exception of one person, to keep perfectly silent. And to this person he whispers the animal he is to imitate is a donkey.
After a short time, the signal is given. Instead of all the party making the sounds of various animals, nothing is heard but a loud bray from the one unfortunate member of the party.
“I POINT”
The guesser chooses an accomplice unknown to the rest of the party.
When the game starts, he leaves the room.
On his return he states what person was pointed at during his absence.
But how could he know?
Here’s how:
It’s secretly agreed between the guesser and his accomplice that whoever speaks last before the guesser leaves the room, will be the person who is to be pointed at. It is very seldom that any one discovers this trick.
