The patrol leader asks their patrol to leave the troop room for a few minutes, while they themselves place a thimble, ring, coin, piece of paper, or any small object in a visible spot, though not too conspicuous. The patrol is then called back to search. Whoever spots the hidden object sits down without even giving away its location with their gaze. After some time, the patrol leader asks one of those seated to point out the spot to the rest of the searchers. The winner is the one who saw the thimble first, and in the next game, they take charge of hiding the thimble.
