Description

Button, Button, Who's Got the Button? is a guessing game in which seven people sit in a circle with the player in the middle. The player must find out who has the button. After each guess the guessed person tells the player if he has the button, a direct neighbour has it or gives no information. The button then either stays where it is or is passed on by the person who has it to a direct neighbour. The player wins when the button is found.
