April 7
: The Tables Have Turned Day

Trinidad and Tobago


Normally, the Mods put a wrench in upping our counting record. Let's try a little role reversal ITT today! Any site mods can try to count as high as possible, but they'll need to be cautious. Any other user's contribution to the count will cause them to need to restart.

April 8
: High Score Day

Image
Cape Verde


A common way to win various games is to get a high score. Today, let's practice! Participate by playing a game of your choice and post the highest score you get. If you need inspiration, there's always LSG challenges. Would you like to quickly and accurately do a Logic Puzzle or minesweeper or something?
How about showing us a high score in games like Geoguessr, 2048, or Robot Unicorn Attack?

I feel like Tetris is generally a big flash challenge that is run, it has been run as a challenge a few times. I am not great at it but here's my score

My score is from semantle and I think what it means is that in 50 guesses (without hints) I got within the 50 closest words to the mystery word of puzzle 435.

April 9
: Win, Lose, Banana Day

Image
Indonesia


Many of us originally joined MS because we have an interest in social deduction games of some sort. There are many non-mafia ones we have tried out on the site so far. Games like Behind the Mask and the Resistance are Mish Mash classics. Perhaps you know of a new that would be fun? Feel free to make a signup thread! :]


Today's discussion prompt is themed around the 3-person social deduction game Win, Lose, Banana. From today or the past week, let us know of a: (1) "Win" or highlight from the last week, (2) "Lose" or lowpoint, (3) "Banana" - the closest thing to banana that you ate!

Win: Got a promotion at work with week!
Lose: Nothing immediately comes to mind here which I guess means last week wasn't too shabby
Banana: I ate some apples which should translate to bananas

Win: Went to my first movie since the pandemic as well as since I moved out from my parents to San Antonio. It's not bad IMO.
Lose: Shame that that was the last movie I was interested in seeing until August and my brother's birthday is in June. We've got another idea in mind for when I visit him then, though.
Banana: I love snacking on cucumbers, which I guess are close enough in shape to bananas to count xD

April 10
: Love of Learning Day

North Macedonia


Many Mish Mash games and LSGs offer mental challenges and opportunities to learn. I'd like to challenge you to go try your hand at Zendo Questions, a game where we collectively find the underlying rule. Or are math and logic puzzles more up your alley? Check them out and give it a try today! Also, /in for the Codenames queue if you enjoy the challenge of putting together or deciphering semantic clues.

April 11
: Wishful Thinking Day

Image
Mozambique

Wishing and yearning can be a powerful feeling. But, where's the joy in
granting
wishes? Most people just want to game the system and wish for more wishes.

Well, we think the vintage Spoil a Wish approach is more realistic and entertaining. I'll start by posting my wish. The next poster should explain the caveat/consequences of granting my wish and then post their own wish. Have fun!

I wish I could see the northern lights in person.

Granted, but now the only clothing you wear is that that looks like the northern lights.

I wish I could fly

Granted. You fly into a 50th story window and fall unconscious to your death.

I wish for love and happiness.

Granted. You get love and happiness...for a day. The rest of your life is lonely and miserable.

I wish I were rich.
