Have you heard of magic eight balls? Or apps that help you make decisions? Well back-in-the-day, before mobile phones were around and magic eight balls where yet to be invented, people used to play a game called ‘chatterbox’ to help them make decisions, come up with what they were going to do, or just figure out what they would have for lunch.

A chatterbox is a piece of paper folded into a small, 3D pyramid that can be folded in and out to reveal different pieces of advice inside. The way you play is to place the points over your fingers, pick a number and then count while you fold the paper back and forward, pick another number and count while you fold again and then pick a square to open. The square underneath tells you what you should do.

This chatterbox is designed to help you with your tough decisions, and won’t tell you the exact answer, but will give you some good advice that may really help you choose your next move! Hint – you can print it from the PDF a bit easier!
