What's inside the box?

It’s a game where you put an item in a box and try to guess what it is using only your sense of touch.

You can use anything you have at home—food, stuffed animals, whatever—so it’s easy to enjoy.

Not being able to see makes your heart race, and people who scare easily might have trouble even touching it.

The people who can see can give hints like “a little lower!” or “it’s food,” which makes it even more exciting.

It could be fun to prepare a penalty game for the loser as well.
