Step-by-Step Instructions

Gather your group together, close enough so everyone can hear one another.
Each person’s task is to identify the ‘key’ which unlocks the secret to a puzzle.
Announce that you’re hosting an imaginary party, and everyone is invited.
To attend, every person must bring some ‘thing’ with them. It can be a food, a prop or even a person.
Next, invite a series of volunteers to nominate what they would like to bring to your party.
Here’s the key: the ‘thing’ must be spelled with two consecutive letters that are the same to be acceptable.
Unless a person brings the correct thing, eg beer, strawberries, Darren, they cannot attend the party.
As each person makes an attempt to uncover the key, congratulate those who get it, and encourage those who do not.
Continue to offer more and more obvious clues until everyone has identified the key.
