What to study

Curiosity Gap

A blindfolded guesser stands in front of a line of strangers, and you cannot help playing along. Could you tell the languages apart yourself? The game is clear in one glance, and the only way to check your guesses is to watch.

How the packaging works
Title

The title names the game and hints at a repeatable series.

Thumbnail

The image stages the guessing game, blindfold, contestants and all.

Remix this

If your subject can become a guessing game, stage the game in the image so viewers start playing before they click. If you teach, testing the viewer beats telling them.
