Jinx (children's game)

Jinx is a children's game with varying rules and penalties that occur when two people unintentionally speak the same word or phrase simultaneously.

A jinx can be initiated when at least two people say any same word or phrase at the same time. One of them then calls "jinx" on the other.

The game ends when someone speaks the jinxee's name or the jinxee speaks. In the latter case, the jinxee loses the game, and often a penalty is exacted, typically a punch on the arm.

An alternative penalty is the individual who initiates the jinx begins counting, and the individual who was jinxed is required to provide a cola for every additional number added to the count, prior to the jinx ending. This penalty is considered by some to be superior as it precludes violent action taken.
