How to play
Line up the paper pieces edge to edge. The first picture starter draws parts of one large, simple picture across the row but leaves every second piece blank. Lines that reach a blank piece should stop at one edge and continue from the corresponding place on the other side.
The picture finisher studies the clues and fills the gaps, connecting the broken lines across each blank piece. The picture might become a face, house, fish, sun, flower, or an invented creature.
When the picture is complete, swap roles and start another one on the reverse sides or fresh paper. The starter may make the next picture easier or more mysterious, but should always leave clear endpoints for the finisher to join.
The goal is to build one picture together, not to guess the starter’s exact idea.
