Tickle Jenga:

A simple concept really - before the game someone marks each block with a tickle spot and an amount of time. Some can be left blank to give the players a chance to escape without a ticklish fate.

Then round by round the contestants draw their chosen blocks. Now not only are you playing jenga, you get the additional surprises of tickles after every time you draw a piece from the tower. Maybe it will be feet for 30 seconds, maybe it’s tummy for 5 minutes. Who knows - the time and spot depends on how evil the person marking the bricks is feeling! Maybe you want to tickle someone for a long time so put the higher amount of time.. but what if you draw that brick and not your opponent? You’d have to endure what you wrote.

Oh, and piece of advice! You don’t want to be the one that knocks the tower over 😉

So, who’s playing? Maybe tag an opponent and bring this to your next game night.

Does your name and birth month reveal facts about your ticklishness? Let’s put it to the test shall we.

Below will be some steps to follow to see whether this little game can correctly guess factors of your ticklish sensitivities. Oh, and please share your result and more importantly, if it’s right or wrong, in the comments below... have fun and of course share for the whole community to have a go.

Step 1: take the first letter of your first name...

A, E, I, O, U - insanely ticklish

B, C, D - hyper ticklish

F, G,H - very ticklish

J, K, L - surpringly ticklish

M, N, P, Q - mildly ticklish

R, S, T - crazy ticklish

V, W, X, Y, Z - violently ticklish

Step 2. Using the first letter of your surname, add the spot/spots to be ticklish.

A, E, I, O, U - all over

B, C, D - underarms

F, G, H - feet

J, K, L - tummy

M, N, P, Q - sides

R, S, T - ribs

V, W, X, Y, Z - bellybutton

Step 3: now according to the month you were born in, in what method should you be tickled in next.

January - spread eagle face up

February - free without restraint

March - renfaire stocks

May - regular stocks

June - pinned by ler

July - standing, arms tied above head from the ceiling

August - tickle fight

September - hogtied

This will do for now.. but I’m always looking for new ideas to add. So, how close was I to the truth??

Hangman with a twist:

I think it’s fair to say that many of us in times of boredom have turned to games like hangman to pass the time. You guess the letters and watch as this poor stick figure loses time after time with no reprocussions on the one guessing the letters.

Well, what if that all changed??

What if your most ticklish spot was on the line? Would you think more about every pick? Would you worry that little bit more as the drawing got nearer to completion? And most importantly, what would you feel when that final guess was incorrect?

That’s the way tickle hangman works. Play and win and there’s a reward in it. Play and lose, well, you know what’s coming.
