A psychological game where mind games are fun. A world of deception that gets everyone excited.

Mind Control Game

In situations where people are asked to choose what they like, it may seem as though they’re making their own choices, but it’s possible they’re actually being guided by the preceding context.

This piece uses that kind of psychological steering to have someone make a free choice and then correctly name what they chose.

The participant is asked to do simple addition in sequence: from “2+1” to “3+3,” then “6+6,” “12+12,” and “16+16.” After that, you ask, “Pick a number between 12 and 5 that you like,” and once they answer, the setup is complete.

It’s said here that people are psychologically inclined to choose 7, so if you name 7, you can segue into explaining that there’s a psychological tendency for this to happen.

Ten Times Quiz

[10-try quiz of 15 questions] Get all correct and you’re a 10-try master!

It’s a game where you have someone repeat a specific short word 10 times and then ask a simple quiz question to see if they can answer it correctly.

The repeated word nudges them toward the wrong answer, and the challenge is whether they notice the misdirection and give the right answer.

Even if you spot the trick, clearly pronouncing the word makes it hard to break away from it—that’s what makes the game so exciting.

The questioner chooses what to have the player say, and the respondent sees how far they can distance themselves from what they just pronounced; that back-and-forth is what makes the game fun.

Psychological Warfare: Old Maid

WEST. [Psychological Battle, Round 2!] The Ultimate Old Maid Weakest King Decider! 60/100

Old Maid is a basic playing-card game in which you draw cards while trying to avoid ending up with the Joker.

This variant limits the cards used and the number of players to heighten the psychological mind games.

In regular Old Maid you can freely shuffle your hand as you play, but by also restricting how many times you can shuffle, it adds a new layer of strategy about where certain cards are likely to be.

If you actively incorporate conversation, elements of bluffing come into play as well, making the game even more exciting—highly recommended.

Board game “Time Bomb”

Who’s the Bomber? Let’s Play the Werewolf-Style Card Game “Time Bomb”

Time Bomb is a game where you can enjoy tense, edge-of-your-seat mind games.

First, one player is chosen as the “Bomber.” Next, players lay out a set of cards consisting of “Defuse,” “Nothing Happens,” and “Explosion.” Everyone cooperates to draw the “Defuse” cards—except the Bomber, who tries to steer the group into drawing an “Explosion.” Try to deduce who’s lying.

If the group successfully draws four “Defuse” cards, the players win.
