The mystery box game.

Candace moves the snacks and drinks aside places three boxes on the coffee table. Everyone looks on curiously. "I have prepared three mystery items contained in these three boxes," Candace explains. "The object of the game is to guess what's in the box. You can not look inside and there is one small opening that you can put your hand in to feel. The first person to guess what's inside gets to use it on a randomly chosen person!"

There is a anxious energy in the room as everyone ponders what Candace could be hiding in the boxes that would be used against someone.

"None of these things are alive, are they?" Stacy asks, concerned.

Candace puts her ear to one of the boxes, "No... I don't think so..." Suddenly the box shakes and everyone jumps. Candace chuckles and shakes the box again so everyone can see that she was doing it all along. "I was just kidding. They're inanimate object, don't worry."

"So, we can do whatever we want with whatever is in there to the person we pick?" Amina asks. She looks to you and you start to wonder what the genie would do if she had a choice to do anything to you.

"Yeah, we can spin a bottle to find out who the victim will be," Candace says.

"That does include you?" Lynn asks Candace.

"Ah... well, I already know what's in the box, so that wouldn't be fair..." Candace reasons.

"Yeah, but maybe we can each hide an object and then you can guess too," Lynn suggests.

"But these items I brought specifically for the game," Candace insists, implying that they were chosen for a reason.

Lynn smiles back, "I'm fine with that, so long as you are fine with being a possible pick in the bottle spin."

Candace furrows her brow at her plans being altered on her but then lets out a sigh. "Alright, I'll be a pick in the game as well," she relents.

Lynn grins broadly, evidently intent on getting some playtime in with the master of ceremonies. She always did like to aim high.

With everything settled as far as rules and consequences, everyone gathered around the boxes to begin the game. Because it was possible to guess right away what the object is, it is decided that you would spin the bottle to decide who got to feel and subsequently guess first. Amina was the first picked to play. She slipped her hand inside and narrowed her eyes, trying to feel out the shape of the object in the box. You wonder if Amina would even know what the object is, since you don't know how much experience Amina has in the outside world, along with the objects found in it.

There is a metallic clunk as the object falls over inside the box. Amina struggles to grope around to find it again. When she does she guesses, "Is it a can?"

"You'll have to be more specific," Candace replies.

"A drink can?" she asks.

"Nope, sorry. Next person!" Candace says, then spins the bottle again.

The next pick is Beth. She puts her hand in the box and feels for the object. The more people make guesses, the more is revealed about the mystery object, but on the other hand, you have to wait out other guesses which means you could lose even before getting a chance. She smiles as she believes she's identified the object. She asks, "Is it a spray can?"

Candace shakes her head, "Sorry, not spray can."

"What happens if no one guesses right?" you ask.

"Then I guess I get to use the object," Candace answers while looking teasingly at Lynn. Lynn smiles back pleasantly.

The third bottle spin points to Lynn and she reaches into the box. She eyes Candace as she feels the object. There is a swishing sound from the box and Lynn smiles. "It's a can of whipping cream!" she announces.

"You are correct!" Candace affirms.

Lynn pulls the can out and it is as she guessed. There is a lot that she could do with a bottle of whipped cream. Most of it messy. Lynn shakes the cream up and pops the cap to spritz a dab of the contents on her tongue. "So who's the lucky girl to get creamed?" she asks while gazing tauntingly at Candace.

"Why don't you do the honors?" Candace says, offering the bottle for Lynn to spin. Lynn places the bottle on the ground with everyone surrounding it and gives it a spin.
