Are you brave enough? That is the question that will be answered by playing kimodameshi, the Japanese test of courage. You will have to walk a dark, lonely path to a haunted location and set down your token to prove that you had been there.

Kimodameshi (肝試し) is most often translated into English as Test of Courage, which is not literally accurate.
An interesting Japanese game of courage.
