Thanks for making me lose the game by accident.

What is the game?

UndercoverUlrikHD ,

A game where the goal is to not think about the game. Which means reading “you/I lost the game” makes you think about the game, therefore losing.

I’m not playing the game

UndercoverUlrikHD ,

Everyone are playing the game, people who don’t know about it are just better at it than everyone else. That’s the whole point of it.

Then when did the game start?

UndercoverUlrikHD ,

Origin: In an article on The Daily Globe,[5] writer Justine Wettschreck stated that The Game originated in “the early 1990s” somewhere in Australia or England. An article by The Canadian Press[6] reported that The Game may have been created by London resident Jamie Miller, who claims to have started The Game in 1996. On August 10th, 2002, the earliest known reference to The Game online was featured in a post[4] published by blogger Paul Taylor titled “The Game (I lost!)”, who claimed to have discovered it only six months prior.

Wow, I think it’s been years. I lost the game (after at first misreading “dug” as “drug”). Good night!

Can someone explain the joke? I don’t get it

Back in the day there was this thing called the game. Everyone is playing regardless of if they want to or not. The point of the game is to not think about the game. If you’re not thinking about the game, you’re winning. The second you think about the game, you’ve lost the game. Once that happens you are required to announce to everyone around you that you lost the game, making them also lose the game.

I get it now thanks to you but I still think it’s stupid.

Zomg ,

That’s kind of the point though

SlurpDaddySlushy ,

It’s pretty fun though. My friends and I still play and when we’re in a group it makes an uproar. There’s always someone who says, “WTF I had like a several year streak you dick!”

Sometimes I think as many as six stupid things before breakfast.

Donkter ,

It would be a lot funnier if you had discovered it in middle school.

As someone who has only ever “played” “the game” to make other people lose, I’m pretty sure I actually win.

It became popular online in the mid 2000s, although some accounts say it started in the 90s.
