We suggest you to play the exchange game “Secret Message”, but it is not an ordinary exchange, it is a “secret” one!
The content of it can be briefly described like this: you join a project (here or in somebody’s blog, where you see the invitation to the game), then you receive three addresses from a person who invites you, send one card to the first address you see in the list and cross this address out. Then you write your own address to the end of the list, find two or three people who want to join too and in short time enjoy the effect, starting to get cards from different places of the world. Ideally you’ll get 27 cards.
Rules
1. In this game we exchange only hand-made message cards. What’s their difference from usual greeting cards? Their aim is not to congratulate somebody, but to pass certain idea, thought. You have to send your partner a message, emotion or mood, not just a pretty meaningless card. You can use any technique for your message card – drawing, collage, scrapbooking or whatever you like. These beautiful cards can be regarded as examples of a message card (each picture is a link to its author):
(The rest of the rules at the end of the post)
The rest of the rules:
2. You’ll have to make and send only one card. Put your message card in an envelope.
3. The décor of message cards. Size – 10*15 cm. It must contain an image of a MAIN CHARACTER (a person or a part of his or her body: eye, hand etc, maybe an animal or a bird or even some thing, if it expresses your idea. The presence of some TEXT (at least one word) is also obligatory. There are no restrictions as for materials and techniques used. At the back of your card you MUST write or print your name and surname, e-mail and blog address. Any other additions – as you like. You have to make and send your card within 7 days.
4. Very important – manipulations with addresses: when you receive a letter-invitation to the game, you’ll find there a description of the game and three addresses of players. You send one message card to the FIRST address in the list. This player has “played”, and you delete his or her address, adding your own address instead AT THE END OF THE LIST. Therefore you correct the list of addresses: the second one becomes the first, the third one becomes the second and your address is the third and last. It means that in each email, sent in the game, there are always three addresses. And you send the same e-mail with three corrected addresses to two or three new players.
5. How can I find new players? Create a post like this in your blog and ask people to join us, then send the list of addresses to two or three people wishing to play. Be careful choosing new players (you should trust them) and don’t forget that if you invite an unfair person, the chain will be broken and some people won’t receive cards they wait for. If you can’t find new players, you can look at the posts “I want to play” and “I want to invite to the game” in the blog of the game.
7. How can I enter a game? You can leave a comment in any blog, where this post is published. Don’t get upset, if you can’t join the game right now. According to the law of geometric progression the number of posts offering to play will grow immensely. You can leave your comment in the post “I want to play” and wait till somebody invites you.
9. Please follow the rules carefully. For each card made and sent you should send only three emails with addresses. If you want to get more cards – join another team.
10. After receiving each card please find an opportunity to visit a sender’s blog and inform his or her that a card was delivered successfully.
ATTENTION: ! The result of a game is unpredictable, if you are not ready to take risk and you are interested in the result only, it is better not to enter the game.

The aim is not getting loads of cards but the process of the game itself. You don’t know a person you send your message to, and you don’t know how many cards exactly you get and who sends them to you. But you know that somebody will be very happy to receive your letter, and it is great, isn’t it?
