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
