A game that I found on Tumblr-> https://prokopetz.tumblr.com/post/163791862702/why-do-we-even-have-that-lever

It goes like this:

Person A describes a puzzle or trap that you might find in a video or tabletop game, designed solely to mess with players without any care for how it could possibly make sense in a place people actually used.

Person B describes how this could be actually useful to people living there. The explanation cannot be that it is a trap for adventurers or the like. It can be something that has broken, malfunctioned or been tampered with so it no longer fulfills the original purpose-but the original purpose must be practical.

Person B then describes their own puzzle or trap to keep the game going.

The only rule is that you have to propose an actual pragmatic explanation for the trap/puzzle.

I'll start: Why does this room slowly kill you unless you're wearing a certain ring?

A pest extermination company was trying to develop a new way to get rid of pests, and they tested it in that room, but realized that they couldn't undo the extermination and created an anti-extermination ring to wear when studying the method.

Why does this small diamond launch itself at anyone it hears singing.

The diamond was originally meant to do nothing and to just stand there, but evil people brainwashed the diamond to hate singing.
