How to Play Bang Click Bang

Playing Bang Click Bang

• 1

  Begin by pretending to hold a gun and randomly pointing at individual players, each time saying either “bang” or “click.” Then ask: “Who's dead?” or “Who's it?” The first person to speak next is the victim, no matter what is said (including you if you make extra comments, just to be tricky). If more than one person spoke at the same time just after the question, make an excuse and begin again.

  If all players are of legal age, you can make this a drinking game; anyone who can't answer the question correctly must take a drink.

  The number or variety of “bangs” or “clicks” are not important at all, but just add misdirection to the game. Participants in the know can come up with misleading ploys of their own to further confuse new players. The longer the sequence of shots or discussion afterward, the more difficult it is to solve.

  Keep playing until everyone playing either knows the answer or gives up in frustration. Be prepared to make new friends if things go badly!
