BFB[]

In "Four Goes Too Far", Bubble gets the twinkle, and once she gets it, Match decides to have a staring contest with her, so they begin to stare and continuously pass the Twinkle of Contagion to each other. The game soon ends once Pen opens his eyes to see what the sound is. It turns out to be Match and Bubble passing the twinkle to each other. They notice that Pen is staring at them, so Match stares at him to pass the twinkle.

Rock Paper Scissors is a game mostly played by Foldy and Stapy. However, other contestants have played it prior to BFB.

Coverage[]

In "Take the Plunge: Part 1", Leafy and Pin plays Rock Paper Scissors to determine who will push one another off the bar.

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Fries told Stapy to stop wasting his time by playing Rock Paper Scissors. But Stapy told Fries:

What's wrong with a little RPS so we can stress less? Well let's guess who's best and bless the rest!

In "Today's Very Special Episode", Stapy was mentioning to Foldy that he was getting a winning streak. Marker then asks to join, Foldy says yes, but also asks if he knows how to play. Marker doesn't causing Foldy to say: "That's fine." but causing Stapy to say: "That's lame.", resulting in Foldy to be angry at Stapy. She then explains on how to play. She said:

Marker, just throw a hand of rock, paper or scissors, and whoever silently farts the most air out wins the game.

Marker tries to play but he ends up pointing a finger, making a house, and a hecatonicosahedroid. Finally, he makes a 4, resulting in Four literally popping up from his hand.

All symbols made in the game[]

  • Rock
  • Paper
  • Scissors
  • Finger
  • House
  • Hecatonicosahedroid

Trivia[]

Tic-Tac-Toe[]

"Tic-Tac-Toe" redirects here. For the BFDI Mini Again episode, see Tic Tac Toe.

Tic-Tac-Toe is a game played by two characters on a 9-square grid, where the objective is to make a row, column, or diagonal line of your consecutive symbol — either an "x" or an "o". Turns are alternated between players, where only one symbol is placed each turn.

Tic tac toe

In "Gardening Hero", Tic-Tac-Toe was first played by Firey and Leafy. Leafy had just won her 73rd game in a row. Firey wanted a rematch, which Leafy eventually ended up agreeing to.

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Pie and Cake are seen playing Tic-Tac-Toe, while Book watches. Cake ends up winning. Cake apologizes, due to the fact that Pie could be upset. Pie doesn't mind, saying "You win some, You lose some." Book tells Pie and Cake that it's a good way to look at things.

Leafy and Eggy resume the game in "What Do You Think of Roleplay?". During the challenge, Eggy won their 73rd game together, causing Leafy to accuse her of being the impostor, due to her never winning before then. However, Eggy was real and just happened to finally win a game.

Contestant track records[]

Toss the Dirt[]

Sounds dirty, but OK.
 

Toss the Dirt is a made-up game usually played by Stapy and Marker. The game appears to be played by manually digging a hole for yourself, tossing dirt and any other objects upwards as you dig. The goal of this game is unclear.

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Marker asks Stapy to play it with him, which they do. Dora likes the concept of collecting dirt in order to build an island (which is what she eats), and begins to dig with them too.

In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Marker asked Puffball if she wanted to play it, with her agreeing. However, they are interrupted by Fries before they begin.

In "Four Goes Too Far", a Twinkle-contaminated Pen convinces Marker to look at him by offering some "very tossable dirt"; Marker slowly turns around, but Fries stops him from opening his eyes.

In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Yellow Face tells Marker to play "Toss the Balls". He accepts the request and tosses the balls into their basket, making the basket land on their buzzer. They then are declared safe. Fries tells Marker he can stop tossing items, but Marker continues tossing and digging a hole.

How are they supposed to get out of that hole?

Trivia[]

  • It is unknown how they get out of the hole they make.
  • This game is similar to the running gag in "Get Digging", in which Fries asks several people to dig holes to find ingredients.
  • Marker, Stapy, and Dora are currently the only two people to have played the game on-screen.
  • Stapy and Marker's game of Toss the Dirt was very crucial to Four and X visiting Goiky, and with it, Battle for BFDI taking place, as it sets up a butterfly effect; the game convinces Dora to go digging, where she digs up some cyanide, which Flower quickly caught and convinced Black Hole open it. Black Hole then approaches Earth and threatens the planet, causing Four to crush Black Hole to a smaller size, saving everyone.

Eat the Dirt[]

Stapy! Will you play Eat the Dirt with me?

Eat the Dirt is a game that Marker wanted to play with Stapy in "This Episode Is About Basketball". It is similar in complexity to Toss the Dirt. The objective of the game is unknown, but it is most likely to eat the dirt on the plate given to you. Stapy doesn't like Eat The Dirt, as seen when he turned Marker down when he wanted to play. Coiny, however, took advantage of it when Marker said it and gave him his long-stale dirt cake from BFDI 4 that no one wanted.

Trivia[]

  • It may or may not have been created simply by a slip of the tongue of Marker.
  • Coiny and Marker are the only characters to play this game, as they played it off-screen.
  • This can be proved when, at Free Food's elimination, there is an empty plate next to Marker, implying he ate the plate of dirt Coiny had.

A plate of dirt.

Spongy Cake[]

Spongy Cake is a song and game Match and Pencil created and played in Battle for Dream Island, and which Match and Ruby played in Battle for Dream Island Again and Battle for BFDI.

The game was first played by striking one of the miniature objects with the other miniature object (though later in the series Match and Ruby playing it similarly to the real-life nursery-rhyme patty-cake) as you sing a rhyme. In the BFDIA intro, Match and Pencil seem to be playing it, and in the IDFB intro, Pencil is in her original position, even though Match isn't there. In "Fortunate Ben", Match and Ruby can be seen playing it again, but with different lyrics.

In "X Marks the Spot", Two can be seen playing patty-cake (original variation) with X.

Lyrics[]

Spoingycaik

as seen in Are You More Well-Read Than an Avalanche Particle?

The original lyrics used in BFDI and BFDIA are:

1, 2, 3, 4. Who do we not adore?
Spongy! Spongy!
5, 6, 7, 8. Who do we (absolutely) hate?
Spongy! Spongy!
9, 10, and then 11—

The rest of the lyrics are unknown since it is halted. Ruby and Match changed the second line "5, 6, 7, 8. Who do we hate? Spongy! Spongy!" by adding "absolutely" in between "we" and "hate".

In "Fortunate Ben", the lyrics were altered by Ruby and Match:

1, 2, 3, 4. Who do we think is a stupid annoying bore?
Spongy! Spongy!
5, 6, 7, 8.

Appearances[]

  • In "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", Match and Pencil played it with miniature versions of themselves which soon catch on fire.
  • In "Crybaby!", they play it again off-screen.
  • In "Return of the Hang Glider", Snowball comments that it is a dumb game after Match suggests playing it to kill time.
  • In "It's a Monster", Match and Ruby played the game but did not use a matchstick, like how the game was originally played. Instead, they made it into a hand clapping game.
  • In "Fortunate Ben", Match and Ruby are seen playing it as a hand clapping game with the rhyme changed to 1, 2, 3, 4. Who do we think is a stupid annoying bore?. When Ruby comes back after talking to Flower, Match says that she analyzed the game and started playing with Spongy likely after realizing that it was a mean game.


Trivia[]

  • The title might be a pun on the type of cake, Sponge Cake.
    • Additionally, it seems like it's based on Patty Cake.
    • Or it could be a reference to the many clapping games that end with “Cake”.
  • It is Ruby's favorite game.
  • Match and Pencil are the first contestants to play this game.
  • According to the storyboards for "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", the part that comes after "9, 10, and then 11" was intended to be "Who do we wish would die and go to heaven? Spongy! Spongy!"

Flower Power[]

Flower Power was an activity mentioned in "Fortunate Ben" and "Don't Dig Straight Down". The objective is growing the most petals out of your head, making the game mostly biased in Flower's favor.

It is Flower's favorite game.

Not Canon-dy Land[]

2629B4E6-470F-42A5-BE39-5B1AA340CA47

"This is shooting Activities off like, a cliff, with my Not Cannon!"Match, "HELP US get to VIDCON 2019" (altered)
The subject of this article or section is non-canon. The events described did not happen in the official BFDI universe.

Non Canondy Land

Not Canon-dy Land is a board game that is a parody of the game Candy Land, although the game pieces resemble Monopoly tokens. The Battle for Dream Island and Inanimate Insanity characters are seen playing it in "BFDI and II Finally Cross Over". It plays like a normal board game, where you roll a die and move along spaces to reach the end. The die used in this game seems to be the Magic Die from "Sweet Tooth". The name also obviously renders the video it's featured in as non-canon.

Tetherball[]

Tetherball is a game played by Grassy and Tree in the TPOT intro. Tennis Ball also stated that he and Remote use to play it in BFB 7.

Yoyle Chess[]

Yoyle Chess Pieces COMPLETED

Yoyle Chess Pieces

Yoyle Chess is a game played by Pillow, Cake, Book, and Nickel in "Gardening Zero", functioning much like chess. It has yellow and red checker patterns in the game instead of black and white, and has green and purple pieces mainly based off of BFDI items. Pillow teaches Cake the rules of the game throughout the episode, although as the episode progresses whenever the contestants aren't focused on the chessboard, Pillow immediately cheats and moves the pieces of the game to be in a better spot for her.

Trivia[]

  • One of the known pieces is called the FreeSmart SuperVan.
  • Pillow's constant arbitrary rules for the game are likely made up as she claims that Cake received a penalty as a result of being cursed by the Yellow Face skeleton, despite her only recently learning that the skeleton even exists.
  • In Cary's reaction to TPOT 4, he mentions that Yoyle Chess is Goiky's latest craze.
  • Yoyle Chess was also played by Nine and Six in Thanks for 1,500,000 Subscribers! while waiting for Fifteen to wake up, because Nine accidentally knocks her out unconscious.

Goiky's Dragons[]

BFDI TPOT 6 The Great Goikian Bake-Off 0-34 screenshot

Just Not playing Goiky's Dragons.

Goiky's Dragons is a role-playing game played by Just Not in "The Great Goikian Bake-Off". The game consists of a beige board, a bunch of cards, and a six-sided die. the game box contains a purple-tinted planet with the text "GOIKY'S DRAGONS" written on it. From what is seen, players are put into one of various classes (for example, healer and fighter) and are then tasked with traveling across Goiky, fighting off enemies. Actions are likely determined by the cards and/or the die.

Just Not's 38-week long campaign[]

Sometime before the events of "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Just Not started a campaign of the game inside of Tree. The players and their roles are:

During the end of the campaign, they fought a dragon for its stash of gold. Whilst in this fight, Pillow ignited Bomby and threw him at the dragon, killing everyone and ending the campaign.

Trivia[]

  • The game appears to be based off of Dungeons and Dragons, a popular role-playing game from the 80's.

Ring Around the Slammer[]

Ring Around the Slammer is a song and game that Taking Out the Trash plays at the beginning of Taste the Sweetness.

Trivia[]

  • This is likely a reference to Ring Around the Rosie.
