$0-5
Effort
easy
Best for
the person who is fully broke but wants something interactive and a little funny

What to put on the sign

β€œPick whatever flap you want. They all say HOCO.”

One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.

The plan

Fold one paper fortune teller, the same kind everyone made in middle school. Rig it so no matter which number or color they pick, every inside flap opens to the question. They think they are choosing their fate, but you already decided it. Free if you have printer paper and pens around.
