The basics are the same, except instead of touching your nose, you have to make a 'roof' (Dutch 'dakje') above your head by placing the tips of your fingers together and making an upside-down V ('/'). Thumbs may be exchanged during play as long as at least one thumb remains on each player's nose.Ī slightly different version of this game is frequented in the Netherlands, mostly in student circles. The last player to remove their thumb is declared the winner. In this version, each player must hold his or her thumb to his or her nose. This inherently viral teaching and participation component is connected to the rapid spread of the game throughout the United States.Īnother Nose Game arose in 2006, though only vaguely related to the original. However, the official rules state that if a finger is quickly moved to the nose after a task is mentioned the game is immediately started without verbal announcement. In some versions of the game, the starting player (the player who first notices the task) must shout "Nose Goes!" to begin the game. If there are two or more people without touching their nose, then one of them can call out "Reverse" and the game is reversed to whomever is the last one touching their nose has to perform the task. Usually this person needs the game explained to them, having previously been unaware of it. The last person to do this is the chosen person to perform the task. As the other members of the group acknowledge the task (and usually agree to its necessity), they also place their finger along the side of their nose. They mention it, and place their finger alongside of their nose.
One member of a group notices that something (usually a small or simple errand or task) needs to be done.
The Nose Game is a predominantly American social phenomenon or game that serves as a simple technique by which a group of people can quickly determine which member will have to perform a necessary, but undesirable task.
The Nose Game (also known as Nose Goes) is a popular selection method most commonly used when deciding which of several persons is assigned an unwanted task.
