so I was in a college camp few days ago, a guy decides to break some ice with a hand game.
He holds out his hand(s), and hold some gesture, then asks "Open, or close?"; repeat over and over with new gesture.

I was clueless but I was able to guess right 2/3 of the time. He said he wasn't trolling, and there was a clue I have to look at.

Anyone know this game? help me out.

Games like this aren't so intelligent sometimes, they require recognition of patterns...

hmm...

If he's doing what I think he's doing then what he's doing with his hands is only meant to throw you off.

This kind of game always has some sort of catch to it. We used to play a game called "is this a pen". You just keep rotating saying "This is a pen, and this is a pen and this is a pen....is this a pen?"

The catch to the game was before that happened the person would say "Listen". If he said listen, then the answer was yes, if he didn't say that phrase before he started then it was not.

The game itself is a distraction, try to listen for clues other than the game itself.

This sounds suspiciously like the "bang bang bang who's dead" game or "how many sheep jumped over the fence", where the hand movements have absolutely nothing to do with the game.

I have no idea what the answer is, but my best GUESS is that it's something to do with what he says. For example, if the number of words he says beforehand is an even number then the gesture is closed and if the number of words is odd then it is open, or vice versa.

if it's not the hand gesture, it's the words but I doubt that..:D since it seems that he's only asking if Open or close..

i can't even figure out what the game is. so one person makes a hand gesture and asks "open or close?" and then you answer? and then he says whatever the fuck he wants?

nope, it has a pattern depending on the hand gestures or on how he worded the question...

but it's gotta be the hand gesture because the question is always just "open or close?" right? unless the pattern has something to do with how you answered the previous questions.

I don't think I have ever been as confused as I am right now.

I have no idea what is going on here.

Here's a hint, the one in the pic is ambiguous. What you need isn't visible from the pic.

Check all of his body signs. Open/closed mouth, crossed fingers, crossed legs, open/closed legs, palm up/down, whether he says "ok so" before open and not before closed. It really could be anything. The key is to be observant of everything besides the hand gesture, since that is most likely irrelevant to the real answer.
