Technically, The Game officially unofficially ended years ago. I knew the guy who ended it.
Are you for real? He's literally answering the question OP asked.
was it a guy who said he started it or someone who just said they ended it because either way it never ends
It's not a hard idea to come up with, so it probably came from more than one person.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)#OriginNear the top of the article, it's mentioned that a similar thing existed before computers did. And that counts too, as far as I'm concerned.
