Participation in Least Dangerous Game has never been what I’d call stellar. With mentions in multiple publications and on TV, things simply haven’t gone anywhere.
At a guess, 10 to 15 people will actually be reading the clues on a game day with 0 to 4 people intending on acting on the clues.
The game is good natured and joyful, and I have been happy to put it on for as long as I have. The people who have participated are great and seem to enjoy themselves, but things are stagnating.
It seems like the game has to change. Something about it isn’t attracting an audience. Maybe it is the technology. Maybe it is the time range. Maybe it is the incentive.
The overall point here is, it is time for some retooling. As witty and smart at news agencies seem to believe Least Dangerous Game is, it doesn’t translate to the general public. And if people don’t feel like getting involved, then opinions don’t mean much.
And this is in no way a dig at anyone who has participated. The online community, and Minnesota interactive community in general has been awesome. Everyone who plays has been really excited, and people love spreading the word. The fans of the game are great and very supportive.
But it’s time to step back to the drawing board and find a new direction for inspiration. Let’s hope something neat pops into place. I’ll see you in a little bit!

It’s the second Least Dangerous Game of 2008! And instead of doing yard work, you have decided to help me with my reverse-stalking! Did I say reverse-stalking? I meant next generation social media game! Hey, what am I wearing today?
That’s right, a hot dog shirt. I don’t know why I said “that’s right.” Surely, that isn’t what you would have guessed. But the fact remains, hot dog shirt.
The prize again, provided by the Mustache Rangers podcast and improv group, is a genuine Doc Johnson’s Olde Tyme Elixir t-shirt. Now you can be fashionable and promote a fake snake oil elixir from the 1920s! Your dream has come true! Not that dream. The other dream!
Depending on recording situations, the winner will also be featured in the Least Dangerous Game podcast! You’ll be an internet star! Just like that guy who put up a video on YouTube!
While you wait for the first clue, check out the Mustache Rangers and do some toe touches to stretch your legs. Least Dangerous Game beings at noon!
