Objective of the Game
The Charlie Charlie Challenge is a simple game often seen as a supernatural pastime. The goal is to answer questions through the supposed interaction with a spiritual entity named "Charlie."
Setup
- The game only requires a sheet of paper and two pencils.
- Draw a cross on the paper to divide it into four equal sections.
- Write "Yes" in two opposite sections and "No" in the other two.
- Balance one pencil horizontally on the cross and place another pencil vertically on top of it such that they intersect at the center.
How to Play
- Players Ask Questions: At the beginning, players gather around the paper and one asks, "Charlie, Charlie, are you there?"
- Await Movement: If the top pencil moves towards 'Yes' or 'No', it is interpreted as an answer from "Charlie."
- Ask Further Questions: Players can then proceed to ask additional yes/no questions.
- Ending the Game: To end the game, usually, the question "Charlie, Charlie, can we stop?" is asked.
Important Notes
- Random or Supernatural?: The pencil movement can occur due to minimal physical influences such as air currents or slight vibrations and is not necessarily supernatural.
- Safety: The game should not be perceived as a serious spiritual ritual and is merely for entertainment.
