Ever heard of a game called Green Glass Door?

Question

If so I have played it once but I was quite puzzled and confused. Could someone teach me the instructions or give me an internet site that will tell me how to play?-thanks.

Answer 1

The Green Glass Door is a common word game where a player already introduced to the game (understands the 'trick' to it) gives clues to a new player about what does or does not belong behind the 'green glass door'.

Basically, all the clues will have words that have exactly 2 duplicate letters which belong inside the green glass door. It is better to have the two items mentioned related in some way to greater confuse the individuals participating in the riddle.

Some examples:

Behind the door you may attend classes at school or college but not courses at a university.

There are no clothes but there are speedos

Stellar is in, lunar is out, but moon is in and stars are out.

Buttons and zippers are behind it, snaps aren't.

Flowers may bloom there but they don't grow there.

There is Bill, but no Clinton. Chelsea will have to wait outside.

The U.S.S.R. is in, but the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is not.

There are sleeves but no clothes

There are coops but no chickens

There are swimmers and pools, but no lanes or competition.

In a similar vein:

A stool is behind the green glass door, but a keyboard is not. (no relation)

Mattresses are behind the green glass door, but a speaker is not. (no relation)

More examples:

There are books but no shelves

There is a moon but no sun

There is h**l but no heaven

There are bunnies but no hares

There is killing but no murder
