There’s no denying it: we are all collectively going through a some weird times. It’s an experience unlike anything most people have seen in a century – a global event that has brought modern life to a standstill. Every aspect of our daily activities have been fundamentally disrupted, from how we eat, to how we work, to the fact that millions of people across the globe are being asked not to leave their homes for weeks. We can only hope that in this time everyone stays safe and healthy, and for those out there treating patients or otherwise keeping society running, particularly in the medical field, you have our profound thanks.
Now, with that all said, let’s have a little fun in the meantime.
Today we want to share with you what we’re calling the April Game Hike. Part gaming pictorial, part trivia challenge. Over the course of the month we will be posting a daily picture over on our Instagram account of a game either set up ready to play or already in action. Except something will be wrong. Somewhere in the image there will contain one or more pieces from a different game instead. And it’s up to you to figure it out which game. They will also clue you in on what tomorrow’s game will be.
It’s a little like Where’s Waldo, but with more cubes.
Why? For fun mostly. But if enough people join in by the end, we may try to scrounge up something to celebrate with.
Here are our ground rules:
- Each day we’re asking for you to comment on both games: what the current game is being shown and what game the wrong pieces belong to.
- The wrong game piece(s) will be, to our knowledge, unique to the game itself.
- The challenges will start off relatively easy but get progressively more difficult as the month goes on.
So let’s get started! Follow along and join in each day using #AprilGameHike! And here is today’s:
