1984-B is a completely blank book that pairs beautifully with the best-selling book test, 1984.

A canvas for your imagination (and a bit of mischief).

You’ll need the 1984 Book Test to get the most out of 1984-B

"In Oceania, Big Brother used Telescreens to broadcast the exact same reality to everyone simultaneously. Let's see if we are seeing the same reality."

You and a spectator each grab one of the two identical copies of the novel 1984 sitting on the table. You flick through your copy until she tells you to stop, and when she turns to that exact page in her own book, you read aloud the first sentence — bingo, it matches! Then, she calls out any random page number; you both turn to it and, surprise surprise, you accurately name the last word on your page, which she confirms matches hers. Rinse and repeat on another page, and just like that, she's convinced that these books are twins (but not the creepy kind).

"But here is the problem with history in 1984. It can be rewritten in an instant. The Ministry of Truth can make an entire life, an entire book, vanish into a memory hole."

Hand your book over to a second spectator and ask someone to shout out a page number. When they both open to that page, they'll be in for a right shocker: the book you were holding is now utterly blank!
