This is a very simple and fun game. The first person makes a wish, and each following person finds some way to corrupt the wish and then makes a new wish. For example:

Person 1. I wish I had a dog

Person 2. You have a dog, but it dies the day after you get it

I wish I had a muffin

Person 3: You get a muffin, but you drop it and have to throw it away.

And so on.

Your firt wish to corrupt is this:

I wish I had a new car.

As a result of your wish, all hurricanes affect only the South Pole. You are attacked by a mob of enraged penguins.

I wish unpacking would take care of itself.

Shazaam - you don't have to worry anymore about taking your stuff out. Now you have to worry about where the hell it all went.

I wish I had command over every single animal on the planet.

*puff* Now you have command over every animal on the planet, except they don't understand each other and it is up to you to faciliate communication among them. (Talk about overwhelming power)

I wish my workdays were shorter, but equally productive and compensated.

Oct-3-2017 10:33

Your workdays are now shorter! But, alas, all your days are now shorter so you do not get any extra free time.

I wish my dishes would wash themselves.

Oct-3-2017 14:03

They wash themselves with such vigor that they keep breaking all the time. But hey, they're spic and span!

I wish I had a clone of myself that I could send to work.

Oct-9-2017 03:44

Hey presto - you have a clone. The clone is so successful in replacing you at work that your boss gives him a promotion and increased paycheck. The clone doesn't see why you should get the benefit of all his hard work so - he leaves you, bereft and penniless, to live his own life!

I wish I could travel in time and see the pyramids being built.

Oct-9-2017 09:06

You get your time warp and end up in ancient Egypt in the year 1340 BC. You see legions of slaves toiling in the heat. Some Egyptian dudes with funny hats and whips notice you and assume you must be a runaway slave. You end up toiling in the desert heat with all the other hapless souls.

I also wish to travel in time and solve the mystery of murders by The Ripper.

Oct-13-2017 11:34

Alacazam! You are back in 19th century Victorian England. You expertly solve the Ripper murders to the astonishment of Scotland Yard and all the famed detectives of the era. However, as you prepare to give evidence at his trial, he leaps from the dock and stabs you in the heart with a cleverly concealed weapon. You are his last victim. Fame forever, but at a price.

I wish I had a self-driving car that could do all manoeuvres perfectly, while I just sit back and enjoy the journey.

Oct-17-2017 12:26

You now have a self-driving car... but it enjoys driving as much as you enjoy being driven around and refuses to let you out! You slowly die, locked in an ever driving car.

I wish there was a store closer to me that sold Jackfruit, so I don't have to drive all the way to the north side for a few cans of the stuff!

Oct-19-2017 10:11

Your friendly neighborhood store now sells Jackfruit. It's so immensely popular that each time you want to buy your supply it's always sold out. Bummer :(

I wish Halloween would last all year round.
