Scary Game #2

Have you ever heard of the Tsuji-ura?

The Fortune Game is an ancient Japanese fortune telling ritual. Years ago in Japan, this game was extremely popular and was called Tsuji-ura or Crossroads Fortune Telling. Europeans called it Crossroads Divination.

Caution: It is never advised to play this game because years ago, Japanese people commit suicide after playing when they didn't like the prediction of their future.

However, if you want to play, here's what you need to do:

First, you will need a comb and something to cover you face with (example: a book). It can be played alone or with friends.

Step 1: Take the comb and go to a crossroads in the evening, after dark.

Step 2: Draw your fingers along the teeth of the comb three times and chant the following three times: “Tsuji-ura, Tsuji-ura, grant me a true response.”

Step 3: Wait for a stranger to pass by. It must be a stranger, it cannot be a person you know. When you see a stranger approaching, cover your face with the item you've brought. If you have friends with you, they must cover their faces too.

Step 4: Ask the stranger to tell you your fortune. If the stranger doesn't answer or refuses, you must wait for another stranger to pass by.

In Europe, they believe that ghosts or the Devil himself walks along the roads at night so when they're playing Crossroads Divination, they were asking for their fortune to be told by ghosts or Satan himself.

Interesting Fact: Tsuji-ura became so popular in Japan that they started to make crackers with little paper fortunes in them which are called Tsuji-ura Senbai or Crossroads Fortune Telling Crackers. Years later, in America, after the war, Chinese Restaurants adopted these Japanese crackers and called them Fortune Cookies.
