Zap is a fun game that many middle school kids are playing right now. Here are a few ways to play it.

Method 1
Method 1 of 6:

Writing a Time and a Name

  1. 1
    Write 'ZAP' and a time in the near future (within a few minutes or hours) on the back of the player's hand.
  2. 2
    Write down the name of a person of the opposite gender on the palm of the player's hand.

  3. 3
    See if the person can make it to the time on their hand without looking at who's on their palm. If they look, they have to ask that person out. If they don't ask them out 24 hours after they look, they have to kiss them.
    • Don't look at your hand to win. Most of the people who write the information write down the dorkiest/nerdiest kids they can think of so you will just be embarrassed if you ask them out. So just don't look at your hand.

Method 2
Method 2 of 6:

Writing a Task

  1. 1
    Find someone to "zap".
  2. 2
    Think out what you want to zap them to do. Do you want them to hug a guy they like? Say hello to that cute older boy? You can write almost anything. Also, think of a time in the future (two or three hours gives the victim to most suspense to find out who they have to talk to.) Just make sure the time isn't too far in the future. Everyone has a limit as to how long they can wait.
  3. 3
    Approach the victim. Most people will appreciate you asking them if you can zap them, but you don't have to if you don't want to.
  4. 4
    Write zap in all capitals on the back of your victim's hand. Write what time it has to be before they can look at the zap (or find out who's on it) without having to do what it says. For example: 2:00
  5. 5
    Write what they have to do. For example: Hug
  6. 6
    Write down who they have to do it to on the palm of their hand. For example: Bob in Social Studies (you could also write the last name, instead of what class they share with the victim.)
  7. 7
    If you get zapped, don't look at the palm of your hand before the designated time or let people tell you who's on your hand unless you think doing what's on your hand isn't that bad.

    Essentially, yes. This game also goes by the name 'Taser', if you recognize it like that.

Warnings

  • Don't look at your hand no matter what, even if you think it is a girl or guy you like because it might be someone you don't like, which would be unfortunate.
