How to Play:

Elimination: The last player with fingers still up wins the round. If all players are out, a new round starts.

Setup: Everyone starts with 10 fingers up. One player acts as the question master.

The Game: The question master asks a question to the group. The questions can be about funny, personal, or general topics (e.g., “Put a finger down if you’ve ever been skydiving”). Players who have done the thing mentioned in the question put one finger down.

Round Continues: The game continues with the question master asking more questions. Players can keep their fingers up if the answer doesn’t apply to them.

Put a Finger Down is a lighthearted and engaging game that’s guaranteed to bring lots of laughs and fun memories. Whether you’re playing with friends, family, or at a party, it’s a great way to learn more about each other while having a blast. So, gather your group, put your fingers up, and get ready for an entertaining experience full of surprising answers and friendly competition!
