Welcome to Hokia!

Highly Valued

  • Tokens
  • Information concerning vital statistics
  • Non verbal communication

Values / Rules

  • Conversations begin and end with a handshake.
  • "Yes" and "No" are never articulated. To indicate "yes" place your right hand on your right shoulder. To indicate "no", place your left hand on your left shoulder.

Tasks

Within your own group, using only questions which can be answered "yes" or "no," guess numerical statistics of your fellow Hokies. (For example: Do you wear size 7 shoes? Do you have one child? Are you 37 years old?)

  • If you guess correctly, receive a token from your subject.
  • If you guess incorrectly, give a token to the subject.
  • Ask only one question at a time, but you may return to the same person numerous times.
  • You may collect a token from any other Hokie you see breaking the rules.

Behavior enforcement

  • If you see a Hokie break a rule, she must give you a token.
  • But if an outsider breaks a rule, she must be ignored. Walk away quickly.
