What is ‘The Password Game’ on neal.fun, the Internet’s newest viral browser game?

wegotthiscovered.com:

Neal Agarwal has done it again. Though his name may not be familiar, the creative coder has been capturing attention for his wonderfully weird computer games for years. Just like his previous viral games, The Password Game is mercifully straightforward to learn but incredibly difficult to overcome. Based on Agarwal’s Tweets, he didn’t think his latest interactive website could be beaten.

I can't believe people are actually beating the password game, the human spirit is strong

The Password Game, which appears first on a page with Agarwal’s other absurdist games, starts off pretty docile. The premise of browser game is simple enough. All you have to do is follow the game’s prompts to make the most uncrackable password known to man. Questions one through four are standard password fare, but things quickly start to spiral. The prompts quickly change from the expected “add a special character” to “make sure your Roman numerals equal a certain amount” and the more absurd like “include one of our sponsors” or “guess what country this image is from” and “find the Algebraic notation for this specific chess move.”

As the game progresses, your early answers start to gum up the works, and even worse you’ll have to do some internet sleuthing to discover some of the more elusive answers. If you plan on trying to beat the game, you may have to try it several times as it relies on some randomized CAPTCHA prompts, so keep your research tabs open and know that if you intend to take a break and come back tomorrow several of your answers will have to be updated. We didn’t make it past the Algebraic notation for the sake of time but we did collect some resources for anyone attempting the challenge.

The password game is out now! Good luck
