How to play:

  • Write the numbers from 1 to 10 (for example) on a piece of paper or use cards to set the number range.

  • Ask the other player (the ‘secret holder’) to choose a secret number within your given range.

  • Guess the ‘secret' holder’s number.

  • They will tell you whether their number is greater or less than your guess.

  • Try to guess the secret number in the fewest number of guesses possible, or, with only 3 guesses.

Example – playing using the range 1 to 8

Cards numbered from 1 to 8, lined up in order. The same amount of blocks are above e.g. 1 block is above the number 1 and so on.
