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.

Boom. Your wish is granted and you end the game. Years pass and you sink slower and slower into madness over ending quite possibly one of the longest running games on Sleuth. The admins give you the side eye and Mods whisper about you in the Barchats. You couldn’t have known the gravity of this horrifying mistake you made and the looming repercussions of sleep depravity and nightmares.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Your alarm goes off and you realize it was all just a dream and you didn’t really end it at all.

I wish for unlimited chimichangas.

Jun-23-2018 08:22

Your wish is granted. You have unlimited chimichangas, but you get a nasty food poisoning from them.

I wish I could fly.

Jun-25-2018 06:25

You can fly! You swoop happily around the sky, looking down on the world.

Unfortunately no-one taught you how to land. Ouch.


I wish I could stop snails eating my petunias.

Jul-7-2018 23:07

You've finally stopped the snails from eating your petunias! But, now, you and band of survivors are hunkered down in an abandoned gas station because the snails suddenly have a craving for human flesh!

I wish I had the power to be invisible.

There you are, unseen for the whole world. Nobody will take note of you. You feel like you don't exist anymore. You wither away from loneliness and neglect.

I wish I could breathe dragon's fire.

May-14-2020 06:58

You suddenly have the ability to breathe dragon fire - which is to say that you can safely inhale it, process it, and exhale the waste and byproducts (an oily foggy emission that reeks of sulphured eggs). What you CANNOT do is PRODUCE dragon fire. You now have the unique ability to survive a dragon attack, but remain harmless (and smelly).

I wish I was the best bagpipe player in the world.

May-14-2020 08:25

You become Scotland's finest blower. Alas your lung capacity is such that you can only manage to fill the bagpipes with air for about 30 seconds. You produce great but short lived sounds.

I wish the cake wasn't a joke.

May-14-2020 10:54

So the cake isn't a . It's a pretty iced cover for a serious bomb. You take one bite and - kaboom.


I wish I could stop and restart time whenever I want.

May-14-2020 12:38

You can. Unfortunately each time you do that it creates a butterfly effect. It changes reality in ways you don't like. The more you want to escape from it the worse it gets. You end up miserably in an altered world.

I wish Crockett and Tubbs were my friends.

May-14-2020 14:15

You meet Crockett and Tubbs and immediately strike up a bond. Sadly it turns out you met them on their vacation and once they return to work they have a very limited social calendar. After weeks and then months and then years of “let’s grab a beer sometime” and “we’ll hang soon I promise” you realize that the only time you ever see them is when they need help moving furniture or someone to give them a ride to the airport. Tubbs occasionally asks to borrow power tools (which he doesn’t return).

I wish black licorice jelly beans tasted like stout beer instead.
