21 of the Absolute Dumbest Games People Made Up as Kids

When you’re a child, there are times when freeze tag isn’t enough to satisfy your sick, twisted mind. You want to try your hand at something that resembles a Saw trap more than an actual toy. That’s when the combination of idiocy and ingenuity strikes. 

Whether it was a game of “Burn Dad’s Steak” or a rousing round of nail ball, Redditors have reminisced about the times they said “Let’s play a game,” and had an incredibly stupid time or almost ended up in the hospital. In fact, one Redditor broke their rib cage two different times while playing a game called “Pool Runners,” which is exactly the kind of idiocy and ingenuity I’m talking about.
