ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Trust game

Okay kiddo, so sometimes people like to play games where they have to trust each other. It's called a trust game. Let me explain how it works.

Imagine you're playing with your best friend, Tony. Tony tells you to close your eyes and fall back into his arms. Now, this might seem scary, but Tony has always been there for you, right? He's always caught you when you've fallen before, so you trust him. So, you take a deep breath and fall back into his arms. And guess what? Tony catches you just like he said he would!

That's what a trust game is all about. It's about showing your friends that you trust them, and in return, they should trust you too. It's like when you share your toys with your friends or help them when they're feeling sad. They start to trust you because they know you're a good friend who cares about them.

But remember, kiddo, never play a trust game with someone who has not earned your trust. Only play with people you know you can trust, like your family and close friends. It's okay to say no if you don't feel comfortable with a trust game.

So, in short, a trust game is a fun way to show your friends that you trust them, but it's important to only play it with people you know you can trust.
