Dish Duty

Dinner's over and nobody wants to wash up. Everyone puts a finger on the phone, and it picks one person at random. No arguing with the sink.

How to play

  1. Tap Start and lay the phone flat in the middle of the table.
  2. Everyone puts one finger on the screen. Each finger gets a colored, numbered circle.
  3. Hold still. After a couple of seconds a 3-2-1 countdown starts. If anyone lifts a finger or joins late, it starts over.
  4. One circle gets a ring and the rest fade out. That finger is on dish duty.

Good to know

  • Every finger has exactly the same chance. Where you put it, and how early, makes no difference.
  • Most phones follow about five fingers at once. For a bigger group, or on a computer, type everyone's names instead.
  • It works for any chore: clearing the table, taking out the trash, or who picks the movie.
