ABSTRACT:
A game and method for foretelling particulars such as characteristics and future circumstances of a person, wherein a plurality of indicators are placed by participants, with their vision temporarily impaired, on a display device having a representation of a person therein. The predicted particulars which the selected person will have are those represented by or written upon the indicator positioned closest to a designated location on the display device. In one preferred embodiment, the game and method are used to predict the gender and date of birth of a baby. In that embodiment, the gender of the baby is predicted as the gender represented by the indicator which has been placed closest to a designated location on the display device with a representation of a baby thereon, and the birth date of the baby is predicted as the birth date that was previously written on that same indicator.
