Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at printables4mom.com.

This two-player game uses a printed grid board where each player secretly places a spider in a square. By taking turns asking yes/no questions about the spider's location and tracking answers on their own board, the first to find the hidden spider wins.

Directions

Get two printed copies of the game board.

Each player receives one board and secretly marks a spider—or simply an 'X' or circle—inside any square of the lower grid.

Fold the lower part of your board upward so your hidden marking is not visible to the other player.

Alternate turns asking yes/no questions to deduce where the opponent's spider is, such as 'Is it on a pumpkin?' or using grid references like 'Is it in E7?'

On the upper section of your board, note each answer by crossing out eliminated rows, columns, or squares based on the response.

The first person to correctly pinpoint the opponent's hidden spider is the winner.
