I'm Not A Robot
A tick-box sign on your chest and a nine-square picture grid in your hand: select all squares with traffic lights. A very good costume for anyone who has failed one of these more than twice.

How to make it
- 1
On the first board, draw a square tick box on the left with a tick in it, and write “I'm not a robot” next to it.
- 2
On the second board, rule a three-by-three grid. Draw a tiny doodle in each square: a tree, a bike, a car, a house, a dog, a boat.
- 3
Tick a few of the squares. Fill the rest with scribble so it looks like you are still deciding.
- 4
Make two holes in the first board and add rope shoulder straps. Hold the grid in one hand.
Make it better
- Ask people to select all squares with a robot.
- Stay very still and blink once a minute.
Questions
Is this a particular company's check?
No. It is a generic human-check box, not any one site's design.
Wear it in front of your own haunted CCTV
Upload four photos of your house and Cursed Cam turns them into a night-time security monitor where something is very wrong. Put it on the TV by the door.
