As always, we recommend playing these types of ritual games with multiple people to enhance the experience as much as possible.

There are also absolutely no stated age requirements, but we would encourage this ritual game to only be performed by kids over the age of at least 12.
This is because it can be quite a scary experience meeting the Lady of Spades, even for the bravest among us!

How Do You Play?
We’ve gone over What The Queen of Spades games is, Who It’s For, and What’s Needed to Play… now for the best part of learning about how to actually perform the wish-granting ritual.
Keep reading below to find out the steps you need to play. It’s best to proceed with the ritual at night for the most spine-tingling experience.
Step 1: Go into a dark room with a mirror (a bathroom is preferable here)
Step 2: Place the Queen of Spades playing card up against the mirror. The face of the playing card must be facing the mirror.
Step 3: Draw stairs leading to a door on the mirror with the red lipstick
Step 4: Light the candle
Step 5: While holding the candle, close your eyes and state the phrase “Queen of Spades come” three times
Step 6: State your wish out loud and pass the candle to anyone else who also wants to make a wish.
Step 7: Blow the candle out
It is worth mentioning that if anyone feels like there is something not quite right the game must be ceased immediately. If this warning is ignored Lady Spades is able to come out of the mirror and murder the participants!
If you or any other participant wishes to end the game for any reason, simply state the phrase “Queen of Spades, go away!”, wipe away the ritual symbol drawn onto the mirror with red lipstick, blow out the candle and turn on the light. Phew! You are all safe again!
Whatever you do you must not let the Queen of Spades escape from the mirror into our current world. In extreme circumstances, a participant may break the mirror to end the game quickly if they believe this is happening.
That’s all there is to it, the ritual is as easy to perform as that.
Did you or any friends hear the Queen? Did you get to grant a wish?

Some Funky Quirks of The Ritual
This ritual game has some interesting trivia surrounding it.
First of all, the Lady of Spades may look completely different from what you may think.
She is known to be completely bald and steals a lock of hair from any participant who plays, this is known as the minimum price of entry to perform the ritual.
You yourself may notice a small piece of hair missing after performing the ritual, pay close attention to this as it could mean she visited you in your sleep.
Another quirk of the game is the fact that the ritual is irreversible, so make sure you are certain about performing it on your own or with friends before beginning as there is no going back!
Absolutely nothing you do or say will stop the aftermath of the ritual (good or bad) once you have completed the process of performing it.
Some common spooky things people have noted hearing in the past after completing the ritual are laughter, footsteps, whispers, and even the Queen saying “I will take you all with me”.
If you or any participants hear any of these it’s a sure sign you are in the presence of the Queen herself, so be careful!
Time to give it a go!
Now that you know all the ins and outs of summoning this spooky ethereal being, why not try it out for yourself…if you dare!!
What time are we suppose to do it at?
Anytime will work. The later in the evening or the early morning hours make it spookier.
