To beat the Password Game, a notorious and challenging game with 35 complex rules for creating a password, here are key strategies and tips:
- The game starts simple but soon demands knowledge ranging from math to chess moves, Wordle answers, periodic table symbols, moon phase emojis, and geographic location identification via Street Maps images.
- For difficult rules like identifying countries from random map images (Rule 14), use clues such as street names, languages, or signs visible on the map to identify the location, or refresh the image for an easier one.
- For the chess move rule (Rule 16), use online chess solvers like Next Chess Move by matching the position and letting the solver suggest the best move.
- Some rules require manipulating font sizes, colors, emoji styles, or adding time-specific details (e.g., current time in specific font) and prime numbers near password length.
- Save your password frequently as you progress because late stages require retyping it exactly without copy-paste.
- For the final rule (Rule 35), you must confirm and then retype your password within two minutes exactly as it is, including emoji and formatting, which is the last and hardest challenge to win the game.
- Overall, winning requires a lot of time, patience, external tools for map location and chess moves, note-taking, and meticulous retyping.
