This one is all yours

Nothing sharp, nothing hot, nowhere far. Tell someone what you're up to, then go ahead and do it on your own.

How to play

4 steps. Tap one when it's done.

Why it works

Real movies do this too. It's called foley, and the footsteps, doors and rain you hear in films are usually someone in a studio with shoes, a box and a tray of rice. Your ears believe it because sound plus picture is more convincing than either alone.

Lambton County twist

Turn an ordinary event, like finding a missing sock, into an epic movie.
