Hitori Kakurenbo

[DISCLAIMER]

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO TOU IF YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY THIS OR ANY OTHER GAME! EVEN IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THIS GAME WILL HURT YOU. I AM STILL NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.

[OVERVIEW]

Hitori Kakurenbo is a game that originated in Japan where you let a spirit posses a doll and you proceed to play hide and seek with the doll.

[BEFORE YOU BEGIN]

•Put all pets outside.

•Make sure no one else is in the house and don't play with more than one person.

•Never turn around.

•Do not turn on any lights aside from a tv.

•Do not fall asleep while playing the game.

•Do not give the doll your name or the name of someone you know.

•Do not leave the house when playing the game.

[WHAT YOU NEED]

•A stuffed doll with limbs - Not a human doll, as there's a huge chance the spirit will not leave it. If you have an animal doll with limbs, it can be used as well

•Rice - That is enough to be used as stuffing instead of cotton for your doll.

•Something from your body - Usually fingernails for the doll to represent you. This means that if you do something to do the doll, the same thing will happen to yourself.

•A sharp-edged object - To anger the spirit in the doll by stabbing it. Be sure NOT to use a knife/scissors, as the doll will possibly stab you with it after it finds you. So, use a pencil or needle instead. It is recommended to use a wooden toothpick.

•Red thread - To sew up the hole you made in the doll, this later symbolizes blood vessels and acts as a restraint later in the game.

•Saltwater or salt - This will be used later in the game to get rid of the spirit in the doll.

•A bathtub with water - If your home does not have a bathtub, a basin large enough to put the doll in with water in the bathroom works too.

•A very safe sanctuary/hiding spot - When it is the doll's turn to find you. If you have a room with statues and things related to your religion, it is recommended to make it as your hiding spot.

[HOW TO PLAY]

•Give your doll a name.

•Cut open the doll, replace the cotton with your rice and put it apart of your body (hair or fingernail)

•Sew it back up with the red thread.

•Wrap the remaining thread around the doll.

•Prepare the bath by filling it with water and then wait until 3:00 AM sharp. Some versions say that you do not have to wait until 3:00 AM, but this is up to you.

•Remember to turn off ALL lights in the house, but leave only the television on.

•Once it is 3:00 AM, take the doll along with you to the bathroom and repeat "First tagger is「最初は(your name)です！」" three times sternly while closing your eyes, then place the doll in the bath

•Walk away to another room, but do not look back. You may see the spirit possessing the doll. If said spirit makes eye contact or notices you looking at it, it may come after you.

•Count slowly from one to ten. After that, turn around and proceed back to the doll. Go close to the doll in the bath/basin and say "I found you (doll name)! 「(Doll name)、見つけた！」" and then stab the doll with your weapon/object. After that, close your eyes and repeat "Now (doll name) is it! 「今、(Doll name)は鬼です！」" three times. Leave the object inside the doll, then pour some saltwater into your mouth. Do not drink the saltwater as it protects you from the spirit in the doll and you will need the remaining saltwater to end the ritual.

•Bring along the cup of saltwater and go to your hiding place. It is recommended to keep your doors and windows unlocked in case you unexpectedly run into some trouble, and your friends will be able to help you if they are outside your home. It is recommended to have a cellphone on silent mode and brightness on the lowest level in case of emergencies. Keep the saltwater in your mouth at ALL TIMES, NEVER attempt to swallow it. Remain silent when you are hiding as any sounds from you will alert the doll where you are. If the doll finds you, it will stab you with the object you stabbed it with, then possibly possess you as well.

[ENDING THE GAME]

•To end the game leave your hiding spot and find the doll. It may not be in the bathroom anymore.

•Drink the saltwater. Pour the remaining saltwater around the doll in a circle as well. Close your eyes and shout out "I win!" three times, the spirit in the doll will give up and the game ends. You MUST dispose of the doll by burying it with salt, otherwise the spirit will attempt to re-enter the doll.
