I thought the game had died out about 10 years ago when I was 17... I guess I was wrong. Hopefully it stays behind with 2020.

And a Merry Christmas to you too! Xmas Grin

@VeganVeal Ooh, ooh, now that I actually know what this is all about (after a recent thread on MN) and I can join in - you bugger you! Xmas Grin

Now I don't feel so alone spending Christmas Day by myself this year (long term single & childless - neither by choice lol, so although normally ok/quite like having it to myself if I'm not visiting anyone, cos I can do or not do whatever/eat/watch/listen to anything I like, whenever I like, but this year is like no other!). So actually, thanks OP Star Halo.

I got my 15 year old daughter today with it. Loads of puzzles all leading up to one prize. A big sign saying THE GAME

It's been great fun and shes showed her friends her reaction who have said it's looked really fun.

Ignore the spoil sports with their little digs and sneering. Funny how some say people taking part in a daft meme on Xmas day are the childish ones when they literally took the time out of their Xmas day to leave a judgemental comment when they could take a second to click off and do something more worthy of their time. It's like some people can't stand to see anyone else having any kind of fun. Even if it is daft.

Anyway. Off to give the husband a wedgie! Merry Christmas.

If you haven’t found out already It’s all a bit WTF... I don’t know how people have space in their heads for this kind of stuff...
This:
There are three commonly reported rules to The Game:
Everyone in the world is playing The Game. (This is alternatively expressed as, "Everybody in the world who knows about The Game is playing The Game" or "You are always playing The Game.") A person cannot refuse to play The Game; it does not require consent to play and one can never stop playing.
Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses.
Losses must be announced. This can be verbally, with a phrase such as "I just lost The Game", or in any other way: for example, via Facebook. Some people may have ways to remind others of The Game.
The definition of "thinking about The Game" is not always clear. If one discusses The Game without realizing that they have lost, this may or may not constitute a loss. If someone says "What is The Game?" before understanding the rules, whether they have lost is up for interpretation. According to some interpretations, one does not lose when someone else announces their loss, although the second rule implies that one loses regardless of what made them think about The Game. After a player has announced a loss, or after one thinks of The Game, some variants allow for a grace period between three seconds to thirty minutes to forget about the game, during which the player cannot lose the game again.
The common rules do not define a point at which The Game ends. However, some players state that The Game ends when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom announces on television that "The Game is up."
