Simon
says is a game for three or more players and even large groups. One
of the people is "it" - i.e., Simon. The others must do what Simon
tells them to do when asked with a phrase beginning with "Simon says".
If Simon says "Simon says jump", the players must jump (players that
do not jump are out). However, if Simon says simply "jump", without
first saying "Simon says", players do not jump; those that do jump
are out. talent network, inc brings Simon to you corporate event,
private party or college campus. It is Simon's task to try to get
everyone out as quickly as possible, and it is every one else's job
to stay "in" for as long as possible. The last of Simon's followers
to stay in wins (although the game is not always played all the way
through). It is considered cheating to give impossible commands ("Simon
says 'lift your left leg'. Simon says 'lift your right leg'. Simon
did not say 'put your left leg down'!") or phrase the commands in
such a way that the other player has no option but to 'go out' ("Simon
says 'jump up'. Come down."). However, at least in some versions,
it is allowed for Simon to eliminate players by asking them to do
something seemingly unrelated to the game (example: "Anyone remaining
join me up here.") The name of the game also inspired a classic 1980s
electronic toy named Simon by computer games inventor Ralph H. Baer.[1]
It is a circular electronic game featuring four colored quadrants.
The game will flash quadrants in turn and expect you to repeat the
sequence. If you get the sequence correct, the game will respond with
a longer sequence. There is also a classic Simon Says-like mode called
Tricky Mickey in the 1989 Milton Bradley game of physical skill Mickey
Says, which features Mickey Mouse as its host.
