This is my favorite game of all forum games. It is also one of the most complicated, but is ultimately very fun.
Here is how the game works:
-The person to start the game hides secret instructions in their post and the first person who finds them must post their response in adherence to the instructions, and then hide another instruction. And whoever finds the next instruction does the same, and so on, and so on.
Here are the rules:
1.I will start the game. I will hide a secret instruction (something like "post your post in blue" or "use only lower-case letters" (It will get more complicated further along, but I think we should keep it simple for now) somewhere in the first post.
2.Whoever finds this hidden message must then post another message where the instruction is adhered to. (In their reply post, the should put an explanation of what the instruction was in bold. (Any bold text is outside of the game, bold text can be used to ask a question about the game, or simply to post something outside the game. It will not be taken into consideration as part of the game, and your instruction cannot have anything to do with posting in bold. Your instruction cannot be hidden within bold, black text.)
3.Have fun and look carefully. The instruction can be hidden anywhere (if it is hidden outside of the text box -and it can be posted outside of the text box. Note: if it is posted on a different page, it must be linked to in some way. The link can be hidden.)
4.Have fun, and try to start out easy. Once we get a feel for the game, we can start getting harder.
ex: Bold text is outside of the game:
Say this were a reply:
This question would not have an instruction hidden in it. It is outside of the game.
ex: How the instructions work
Let's say we had this as one of the hidden instructions:
Now the hidden message is in the capitalized letters: M-A-K-E-T-H-E-T-E-X-T-B-L-U-E" -> "Make the text blue"
The first person who realizes this will reply with something like:
Where if you give each number a letter value from A being 1 to Z being 16, you can read the message "Use the word "puppy" in your post" And the next post would contain the word puppy...and so on.
Note: You would have to use your brain to figure out to associate each number with a letter value.
Okay, the post I make after this one will be the first post of the game and will include the first instruction. If you still don't understand how the game works, either reply in bold-black, or PM me, and I will try to help you understand.

Wait, what was the instruction?
This question would not have an instruction hidden in it. It is outside of the game.
