A fandom loves to expand the world of their favorite show, and to have that world come to life. Some fans may go on pilgrimages to set locations. Others may dive into fan fiction or create fan art. But another way to expand that world is to have a game night. Many writer rooms have created what they thought were just fun, fake games only to have the fandom essentially chime in and say “Hey, we want to play too!” The fans want to play the game to feel as if they are living in the same world. A lot of times the games don’t have complete rules, but has that stopped a fan? Absolutely not! Fans have gone on to finish the rules of many games, even if you leave more confused than when you got there. It’s the shared love of the world that makes the game enjoyable.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

The Big Bang Theory took a beloved real game and expanded the rules. Just remember that Spock always beats Rock. 🖖

The Cones of Dunshire

It was created by Ben Wyatt on Parks & Rec, and I think we are all Leslie Knope staring at him trying to understand the rules. A couple of fans did create a real version, so mission accomplished, Ben!

Bamboozle

It is the game show on Friends that Joey never got to host; a mix of trivia and a game of chance. We are still not sure how the hungry monkey comes into play, but it is the BEST GAME EVER! And weirdly a little similar to the iconic Irish game Quizone.

True American

It is a game that one of the writers of New Girl played in college, but because the rules weren’t remembered, they wrote complete nonsense. It didn’t stop fans. Essentially it’s a drinking game where the floor is lava.

Marshgammon

When you are in charge of your next game night, you can take a page from Marshall in HIMYM and create a game that uses all the parts of the best board games and is so complex only YOU know how to play. It just doesn’t use anything from backgammon except the name itself.

What are Remarkist Mementos?

Mementos are bite-sized pieces of collectible content in our Remarkist app. They look like digital badges with short authored commentary embedded within. Remarkist app members craft and drop limited edition sets to commemorate events in our fan-creator ecosystem.
This Memento Insight was taken from a Memento of the same name, and its written description was preserved exactly as it appears in the Memento. In some cases, that may include typos or formatting quirks which we consider part of the collectible work. There may still be editions of this Memento in our app. By claiming one, you become a micro-patron of this creator/author. To find the Memento, search their @membername or the event title in the Remarkist app. If all editions have been claimed, you can still support the creator by acquiring one of their other Mementos or tipping them in our KRNL token.
Want to submit a Memento Insight for consideration? Use this form!

Not a Remarkist member? Here’s how to get started: 

  • Step 1: Become a Remarkist early adopter and grab your unique @membername. Install our app from here, and be one of the earliest to collect our KRNL token while earning rates are high, including up to 650 KRNL to get you started. KRNL fuels Remarkist’s fandom economy of events and collectibles.

  • Step 2: Join our Remarkist Clubhouse Club—Clubhouse is a separate mobile app on iPhone and Android that we use right now to meet and watch content together. You’ll need it to actually join us for our real-time events, and you’ll need to be a member of our club there to see those chat rooms.

  • Step 3: Join our Discord Server—this is where hundreds of Remarkists are geeking out over the shows we love 24 hours a day, and it’s where you can get the latest developments on the project. 

  • Step 4: Check out our website at remarkist.com for a splashy birds-eye view of the biggest stuff happening in our ecosystem.
