Rules of the game "Danetki"

The presenter voices a short text to the rest of the players, usually this is the ending of some story, and most often - a strange mysterious situation. The players’ task is to unravel what led to such an ending, that is, to find out the background of the situation and find the answer.

According to the rules of the game, the presenter can ask any questions, but they must be formulated in such a way that the answers to them are only “yes” or “no.” If the participants follow the wrong path, the leader’s answer “not significant” (“doesn’t matter”) is allowed.

In order to better understand the essence of the game, I will give an example of solving a simple “Danetka”.

The presenter says to the players: “The pilot jumped out of the plane, but remained alive. How can this be?”

Players ask questions, and the host answers them, here is an example dialogue:

— Did he jump out with a parachute?

— Did he crash into something while flying?

- Did this happen at night?

- Doesn't matter.

— Were you able to save him?

- It doesn’t matter (that’s not the point).

- Has he reached the ground?

— Was the plane flying?

— The pilot jumped out of the plane standing on the runway?

That's it, the situation is solved).

Danetka riddles with answers

This logic puzzle got its beautiful name “Danetka” based on two answers (yes or no) that the driver can say.
There are several types of game.
Let's start with the simplest thing: the driver thinks of a word, writes it and hides it. The players do not know the answer and can only ask a question that can be answered: yes, no. The game doesn’t work out right away because it’s difficult to keep the condition in mind all the time.
The question “What color is it?” will not work, you need to choose any shade and ask: is it white (black, red)? Only then will the driver answer you.

It can take a long time to guess what the hidden word is, so there are secrets. Need to ask general issues, which will cut off the unnecessary: ​​is it alive? No. Can this item be picked up? Yes. Is this edible? Yes. After collecting information, you can ask targeted questions. This Apple? Yes!
The driver demonstrates his preparation so that there is no doubt about his honesty.

The second type is the most common.
A strange situation arises, usually inexplicable and illogical. For example, tourists said that in one village there lived a boy who always chose the ruble between a ruble and a 100-ruble bill. Why?

The players offer their options: was he a fool? No. Did he not recognize the value of money? No. He bet that he wouldn’t take 100 rubles? No.
The game continues until the prepared answer is given: the boy knew that the flow of surprised tourists with money would dry up if he took the bill. And so he is quite wealthy and earns more than one hundred.

Liked? Let's continue.

I looked in and there was a corpse.

Greenland is a huge island covered with snow and ice. Why did the man who discovered this island call it Greenland, that is, the Green Country?

Greenland was discovered around 982 by the Scandinavian Jarl Eric the Red. He sought to encourage people to settle there and therefore named the country Greenland, since this name could attract them (in English greenland - “green land”). This is one of the earliest examples of deliberate misinformation.

Game of Danets

This game has long been used by counselors in organizing children's leisure in summer camps. However, it can be successfully used class teachers and teachers at school, for example, during after-school or class hour, as well as for the purpose of organizing leisure time during outdoor events.

Danetki (situations) is a type of riddle game.The essence of the game is indicated by the name itself: when guessing, you can ask questions, but the answer to them can only be the words “yes” and “no” (and also “doesn’t matter”). In the most common version, the driver describes a strange “situation”, and those guessing must, by asking clarifying questions, find out the background of the situation. This option is called “playing in a situation.” This game develops logical thinking in children, teaches them to formulate questions correctly, and trains their memory.

IN this section I have collected the most interesting data that have been successfully applied in practice.

Danetka 1. "Shoe"

Every evening the girl opened the safe, put the shoe in and went to bed. Why?

The girl worked as a flight attendant and kept documents in the safe. In order not to forget them, she put a shoe from her uniform in the safe together with the documents; she definitely wouldn’t leave the house in one shoe!

Danetka 2. "Restless Evening"

The woman could not sleep for a long time, but then she realized that her husband was dead and lying under the bed. How did she understand this?

She couldn't sleep because she was waiting for her husband. She often glanced at the time, but at one moment the clock on the wall stopped, and the sound of the clock continued to clearly echo throughout the room. After listening, she realized that it was the sound of a wristwatch coming from under the bed. Consequently, the husband she had been waiting for so long lay dead under the bed.

Danetka 3. "Man in the Desert"

In the middle of the desert lies a man without clothes. He has a broken match in his hands. How to explain all this?

A group of friends traveled in a hot air balloon. But suddenly the ball began to rapidly lose altitude. Then the friends decided to reduce weight by getting rid of everything unnecessary. They threw bags and food down, but it didn’t help. Then they decided to take off all their outer clothing and shoes. But that didn't help either. They realized that the balloon could not support so many passengers, and decided to draw lots. The one who draws the shortest match will have to jump down. Our friend was unlucky.

Danetka 4. "Mysterious Death"

The man entered the room. He sees an open window, a lot of glass on the floor, a large puddle and dead Mary. What did she die from?

There was a strong wind that day. The window opened. The aquarium that was standing on the windowsill flew to the floor and broke. Mary is a fish.

Danetka 5. "Chance meeting"

The man left the room, saw the woman and strangled her. He wasn't jailed? What a strange situation?

They are husband and wife. Many years ago, a wife staged her death in such a way that suspicion would fall on her husband (one can imagine motives). The husband, after serving several years in prison, came out and saw his “dead” wife on the street. In anger, he strangled her, because he had already served his punishment.

Danetka 6. "Elevator"

The man took the elevator to work every morning, and in the evening he always walked up. Why?

The fact is that the man is a dwarf. And he lives on the 20th floor. In the elevator, he can only reach the button for the first floor.

Danetka 7. "Birthday"

Jenny celebrated her birthday. And in two days her twin sister will celebrate hers. How is this possible?

The fact is, Jenny was born on February 28 a few minutes before midnight. And her sister is already on March 1st. It turns out that in a leap year the birthday of the younger twin is 2 days later.

Danetka 8. "Will"

After receiving an envelope with a will from her grandmother, she was so disappointed to find a check for $20 inside that she angrily threw both the envelope and the check into the trash. A week later she discovered that her housekeeper had quit and bought herself a villa.

According to Agatha Christie. The grandmother who left the inheritance collected stamps all her life, so she stuck a collector's stamp worth 3 million on the envelope.

Danetka 9. "Exam"

There was an exam at the naval school. Suddenly, out of the blue, the cadet gets up from his seat and approaches the professor with his grade book. Without hesitation, he gives him a high five. How is this possible?

The professor was very smart. Using Morse code and tapping his fingers, he conveyed the following message to the students: “The first one to decipher this message, let him come to me and receive his rightful A.”

Danetka 10. "Falling from the Roof"

On the roof, two men started a fight. Below, a large crowd watched with great interest. Then one man grabbed another and threw him down. The man fell from a height onto the asphalt and died. But his death was blamed not on the person who threw him from the height, but on one of the spectators standing below. How did this happen?

The film studio was making a movie. The actors were fighting on the roof. The role of the falling man was played by a stuntman. He should have fallen into the safety net. But the person in charge of safety didn't do his job properly and the stuntman crashed. This person in charge of security was charged with gross negligence."
