Okay, so, let me tell you about this “Umbrella” game I played the other day. It’s one of those games where you gotta figure out the secret rule. I heard about it from a friend, and it sounded like a good laugh, so a bunch of us decided to give it a go.
First, we all gathered around, and my friend, who already knew the trick, started explaining. She said she was going to a party and could bring certain things under her “umbrella,” but not others. We had to guess what the deal was with this umbrella.
She started with something like, “Hmm, I can bring… ummm… apples under my umbrella.” Then she said, “I can bring… oranges,” but without the “ummm.” So, apples could go under the umbrella, but oranges couldn’t. We were all scratching our heads, trying to spot a pattern. Someone guessed it was about the number of letters, but nope, that wasn’t it.
- First, the leader who knows how to play the game says ummmmmmbrella and bring something.
- Then, the players start to guess what can bring to under the ummmmmmbrella.
- Finally, players will figure out the secret of the game.
We went around the circle, each of us taking turns. I tried a few things myself. I said, “Ummm… I can bring a… dog.” And yep, that was allowed. Then I just said, “I can bring a cat,” and that got rejected. It was kinda frustrating but also pretty funny seeing everyone’s confused faces.
After a while, one of my friends, that is a smart guy, suddenly got it. He shouted out, “The name of the umbrella is ummmmmmbrella!” with a big grin. Turns out, you can bring it under the umbrella if you say “ummm” before the item. It was so simple, yet none of us caught it at first!
How I finally play the game?
The trick is you have to say “ummm” before the item. Once you get it, it’s a piece of cake. We all had a good laugh about it, and then we played a few more rounds, with different people taking the lead and making up their own “ummm” things. It’s a pretty cool game to play with friends, especially if you like those mind-bending puzzles. I just found a good game to play!
