（edit）Start to feel dazed

1. Designate one player as the subject and the other as the facilitator. It takes two people to play Red Door Yellow Door, so one person can be the facilitator and the other can be the hypnotist. Others can also watch, as long as they remain quiet while the game is going on.⁽¹⁾
   
2. If you are the guide, sit on the floor with a pillow under your knees. leaderit is the facilitator’s job to make the subject feel comfortable and relaxed. Sit cross-legged and place a pillow or blanket across your knees for the subject to rest their head on.
   
3. If you are the subject, lie down and place your head on your guide’s lap. With your head on your guide’s lap and you lying on your back, close your eyes. Raise your hands in the air and keep them there while you try to begin to relax.⁽²⁾
   
   • If you are the subject, you will keep your eyes closed throughout the game.
4. Massage the subject’s temples and begin chant If you are the guide, rub your fingers on the other person’s temple in a circular motion. Start chanting “Red door, yellow door, any other color door” repeatedly, and the subject will begin to enter. dazeIt may take several minutes for the subject to begin to imagine hallways and doors.⁽³⁾
   
   • If there are other people watching the game, they can cheer as well.
5. Tell the subject to drop their arms when they see the door in their mind’s eye. The subject may naturally sense that they are entering a trance and drop their arms slightly before they can fully see the hallway or door, and that is OK. If you see their hands drop to the ground, that means the game has officially begun.
   
   • If you wish, you can set a 10-minute timer after the subject puts their hands down to keep track of how long the game lasts. It is best not to leave the subject in a trance for too long.

（edit）If you are a guide, guide the topic

1. Mentally guide the subject through the house by asking them what they see. As the guide, you will guide the subject through the house using questions and commands. You can start by saying, “Tell me what you see.” It’s important to stay focused and take your role seriously so that you both get the most out of the game.⁽⁴⁾
   
   • listen Get a good understanding of what the subject is telling you so that you can ask more questions and commands.
2. Ask the subject to describe what they see in each room or hallway. Try to get the subject to explain and describe what they see around them. You can ask questions like, “Can you describe this room?” or “What do you think of the purple door?” Continue to ask specific questions so that you can understand exactly what they are experiencing.⁽⁵⁾
   
   • You can ask, “Do you see any doors you want to go through?” or “Is there anyone else in the room?”
   • If the subject describes seeing a lot of clocks, they are told to leave that room because the clocks are said to trap the subject.
3. If the subject indicated that they felt good about the room, they were told to go into the room. If the subject saw a door and wanted to go in, they were told they could go in. They could also go to objects that made them feel good.⁽⁶⁾
   
   • For example, you might say, “Open the blue door and enter the room.”
   • Warn them not to open doors they are unsure of or walk toward things that make them nervous or scared.
4. Encourage the subject to answer all questions honestly. If the subject does not answer the guide’s questions or describe things in detail, you will not know what they saw. Make sure the subject answers every question so you can help them navigate through the different hallways and doors.
   
   • There is no clear ending to the game, so just keep asking questions until you decide to end the game. The goal is just to hear the subject’s inner experiences and have fun.

（edit）Spotting danger signs as a theme

1. Avoid interacting with people you see in the room. If you open the door and walk into a room with one or more people in it, try not to talk to them or interact with them in any way. Since you don’t know what their intentions are, it’s best to not disturb them so that you have a more positive experience.⁽⁷⁾
   
   • It is said that some people may be evil or trying to deceive you.
2. Avoid rooms filled with clocks. If you walk into a room filled with clocks and describe what you see, the guide will tell you to leave the room immediately. The clocks are said to trap the player in that room, making it impossible to leave.
   
3. Walk around the house, going upstairs, not downstairs. While you can walk anywhere in the house, it’s best to walk upstairs, not downstairs. For example, if you see a staircase leading to another floor, that’s fine. But going down to the basement might be a bad experience.⁽⁸⁾
   
4. Go for light colors instead of dark colors. It is said that going for light and bright things is safer than going for dark things. For example, if you have a choice between a yellow door and a brown door, it is better to go for the yellow door.⁽⁹⁾
   
   • Windows, lights, and brightly colored walls are said to create a positive experience compared to a dark room.
5. try wake up If you find yourself trapped in a room. If you walk into a room and become trapped – perhaps the door disappears or you can’t find a way out – try to wake yourself up. It is said that if you don’t wake up when you are trapped, you may be stuck in a trance forever.⁽¹⁰⁾
   
   • Tell your guide that you are trapped in the room so they can try to wake you up as well.
6. If you spot a man in a suit, end the game, as he is said to be very dangerous and disturbing. When you walk into a room, pay attention to what people are wearing (if there are people in the room). If you see a man in a suit and you feel a little anxious or worried when you see him, this is a sign that you need to end the game.⁽¹¹⁾
   

（edit）warn

• If the subject has difficulty coming out of their trance, the guide may need to shake them awake.
