    For example, in "SORRY", you could move an extra space, or in "BS" you could put down an extra card. Be careful to make sure no one notices.
    • If someone notices that you're cheating, say something like, "Oh, sorry about that. My mistake." Cover up yourself quickly but confidently. Look at "How to Think of Quick Witted Comebacks" for more information.

    How do you cheat on the game Sequence?

    First I would not recommend you cheat. But the best way to cheat would be to look at their cards and try to mess them up. Or you could grab more than the correct amount of cards you are supposed to have, you could choose which card you want to have in your hand, or you could put your piece in the wrong spot!

    Pretend to miscount the number of spaces that your piece travels and see if anyone notices. Also, you can push the bubble and try to muffle the sound so it sounds like the die didn't move and you will get a second chance to roll if no one sees that it changed sides.

    Community Answer
    There are two main methods you could use. The first is to look up the project on Google and just copy a design that you like. The second is to ask a friend who has already finished the project to do one for you or to help you do it. Of course, you'll maintain your integrity and a clear conscience, as well as avoid the chance of getting a zero for plagiarism, if you just do the project yourself, without cheating.

      Warnings

      • Avoid announcing that you cheated, as you may get in more trouble than lying about it than actually cheating.
      • Don't cheat too often, or people won't want to play with you anymore.
      • In casinos, if you get caught cheating, you could actually get kicked out. Be careful about that.
