This 1993 text-based quiz game tests players’ knowledge of alcohol-related trivia. If a player misses a question, their character must take a drink and then becomes more inebriated. The more inebriated the character, the more difficult it becomes to read the text, which is increasingly interspersed with random garbled items as more drinks are consumed. Eventually it becomes impossible to get any answers right, and so the character finally passes out.

This game was used in a study by Simons and Chabris (1999) about sustained inattentional blindness. Players watch a video of people in a circle tossing two basketballs to each other and they are asked to count how many times the basketballs change hands. While focused on this task, players often fail to notice unexpected objects that appear in the scene.
