    For those confused:

    “The Game” is a mind virus. The trick is that when you think of The Game you lose. When you lose The Game you must announce to the nearest people “I lost The Game,” thus ensuring it spreads. There is no quiting and no winning. Your only hope is everyone in existence forgets about it.

    It blew up in popularity back in the 2008~2010 era of the internet when everything was cringe humor and lol random

    I lost the game

      Congratulations. You are now playing the game (if you weren’t already). The Game is very simple. You are always playing the game. You cannot win. You can only lose. You lose whenever you remember the game. Whenever you remember the game, you have to announce out loud “I lose”. After you lose, you have 30 minutes during which you can remember the game without losing, As soon as you mention the game to anyone, they begin playing as well. -The goal of the game is to have everyone on Earth playing.
