How to Play

The game starts with one player holding the coin. This player quietly asks another player a question. The question must be asked privately so that only the two of them hear it. The player who was asked the question must answer out loud for everyone to hear. After answering, they flip the coin. If the coin lands on heads, the question must be revealed to the entire group. If it's tails, the question remains a secret. The player who answered the question then takes the coin and chooses another player to ask a new question. The player receiving the coin must take a drink (or another agreed upon penalty). Additionally, every time the coin lands on heads and a question is revealed, everyone in the group must take a drink. The game continues with players asking and answering questions, flipping the coin, and passing it around.
