The Password Game

What The Password Game actually is

You are asked to choose a password, and each time you satisfy a rule a stranger one appears. By rule twenty you are embedding a chess move, the current phase of the moon and a country flag, while a chicken wanders across the box eating your characters if you type too slowly.

Why it is worth your time

Rules escalate from bureaucratic to openly hostile, and the point where your password must contain a fire you are not allowed to let go out is where most people give up laughing.
