The instructions are simple: quickly read the text below, then call the children and adults and solemnly announce: “Today we have questions with answers, complex, interesting and the latest!”
How to play?
Danets are a type of riddle. The presenter voices the story (either completely realistic or fantastically absurd), concealing for the time being the most important details. The guessers need to completely recreate the depicted situation and figure out what led to the announced ending. The situations are clever, sometimes detective-like, so you have to rack your brains. Players can ask the host clarifying questions, which he must answer with just three phrases: “yes,” “no,” and “doesn’t matter.”
For example, the presenter tells a story called “Lottery Ticket”:
Sergei bought a lottery ticket. It turned out to be a winner. But the man was not at all happy about this. Why?
Players make assumptions:
Did Sergei win?
Did he see too late that the ticket was winning?
Did he give his ticket to someone?

The game can be played by an unlimited number of people at the same time, no additional props are required. "Danetki" is great entertainment for those who love detective stories and logic games, since these are usually mysterious detective stories with a trick - at first glance, the mystery may seem quite strange, but its explanation is quite logical.
Rules of the game:
The presenter voices a short text to the rest of the players, usually this is the ending of some story, and most often - a strange mysterious situation. The players’ task is to unravel what led to such an ending, that is, to find out the background of the situation and find the answer.
According to the rules of the game, the presenter can ask any questions, but they must be formulated in such a way that the answers to them are only “yes” or “no.” If the participants follow the wrong path, the leader’s answer “not significant” (“doesn’t matter”) is allowed.
In order to better understand the essence of the game, I will give an example of solving a simple “Danetka”.
The presenter says to the players: “The pilot jumped out of the plane, but remained alive. How can this be?”
Players ask questions, and the host answers them, here is an example dialogue:
— Did he jump out with a parachute?
— Did he crash into something while flying?
- Did this happen at night?
- Doesn't matter.
— Were you able to save him?
- It doesn’t matter (that’s not the point).
- Has he reached the ground?
— Was the plane flying?
— The pilot jumped out of the plane standing on the runway?
That's it, the situation is solved).
A huge advantage of the game is that the game makes you think, develops logical thinking and includes imagination, and teaches you to formulate questions correctly.

When the butcher and the oiler came to the judge again, he gave the wallet to the butcher, and ordered the oiler to be punished. Why?
The judge put the wallet in water for a day. Since no oil floated to the surface of the water, he realized that the money could not belong to the oil man.
The merchant and the cripple.(6!) A merchant was traveling to the city. I met a cripple and gave him alms. The cripple asked to be taken to the city. The merchant put the cripple behind him on the horse, and they rode off. When we arrived in the city, the cripple did not want to get off his horse and declared that it belonged to him. They went to the judge. The judge ordered their horse to be taken away and asked the merchant and the cripple if they could recognize their horse among the others. Both answered in the affirmative. However, after conducting this test, the wise judge gave the horse to the merchant and punished the cripple. How did he know?
Both the merchant and the cripple recognized the horse. However, the horse recognized the merchant and turned to him, but retreated from the cripple.
