Seven minutes in heaven
Seven minutes in heaven is a teenagers' party game first recorded as being played in Cincinnati in the early 1950s.[1] Two people are selected to go into a closet or other dark enclosed space and do whatever they like for seven minutes.[1] Sexual activities are allowed; however kissing and making out are more common. Variations on the game expand the time allowed to any reasonable short period up to 30 minutes.[2] The participants can be selected by various methods, such as spinning a bottle, or drawing lots. Limits are established either before the game or by the two participants once alone.
In a 2012 xkcd comic strip called "Game AIs", seven minutes in heaven is listed as one of few games that computers may never outplay humans in (alongside Snakes and Ladders, Mao and Calvinball).[3]
