I wonder if this "game" is the same everywhere

What are your local rules for it?

This is how I know it:

  1. The person (A) who shows the ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป must do it below eye level
  2. If another person (B) sees it, they can put a finger in it ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป
  3. Person A can then close the hole trying to catch person B's finger โœŠ๐Ÿป
  4. If Person B didn't stick a finger in it in time, or if Person A caught Person B's finger, then they can continue with the punishment.
  5. However if Person B successfully stuck a finger in and drew it out in time, then they can continue with the punishment.

Punishment:

  1. Draw an imaginary X on the other person's shoulder ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป
  2. Punch the same spot ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿป
  3. Wipe the spot ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป
  4. If these steps are not followed (e.g. you forgot to wipe), then the other person may do the punishment steps on you.

Basically everyone at the same age as me just knows this and (involuntarily) has to play along if challenged...

When I grew up, it was "below waist level" and resulted in a free punch to the shoulder, but there weren't any of the other rules.

(Edit: wait, I forgot that if you flinch, the puncher gets to go again)

It probably also was below waist level back in the days. I don't remember it exactly anymore. But it probably changed over time because everyone kept protesting with "eye level!" when it was too high.

Punishment for flinching is great xD

Yep, below the waistline and "2 for flinching" were standard around my parts.
