How to play Simon Says
- The TV gives a command, like "Simon says tap GREEN!".
- Do it only if Simon said so. Watch out for traps!
- Phone mode: tap big colour buttons. Physical mode: move and judge yourself.
- Quick, correct reactions score points.
Simon Says is short, loud and great for warming up a party. In phone mode, big labelled colour buttons make it easy for everyone, including colour blind players. In physical mode the TV calls out moves like touch your nose, and players honestly judge themselves, because the TV cannot see you. Nobody is knocked out.
Simon Says questions
Does the TV watch us move?
No. In physical mode players judge themselves, and the TV says so clearly.
Is it good for young kids?
Yes. Rounds are short and the rules are the ones everyone already knows.
