In The Password Game, your task is to build the safest password possible while abiding the game’s rules.
From your standard letters, numbers, capitals, and symbols to understanding chess notation and atomic numbers, your password will get a little out of control as you aim to satisfy every rule. If you remember Rule 17, your new friend “Paul” was added to your password. Well, come Rule 23, Paul has hatched from his emoji egg and needs food quickly.
Here’s how to keep Paul from going hungry in The Password Game.
How to feed Paul for Rule 23 in The Password Game
Rule 23 sees your friend Paul hatch into a beautiful chicken and, as expected, needs to be fed. Failing to “feed” Paul results in him dying and you losing The Password Game.
Fortunately, the game gives you a hint as to how to keep Paul alive. Paul needs three worms to stay alive, so similar to when you added Paul to the text box, copy and paste three worm emojis from the Rule 23 box into your password.
Every 20 seconds, Paul ” eats” a worm, removing one of the emojis. Failing to add the worms back into your password causes Paul to die, so be aware that while you complete your other tasks, stay on top of the worm count.
I attempted to outsmart The Password Game by copying and pasting a bunch of worms, thinking Paul wouldn’t go hungry if there were 20 or so worms in my password. Alas, just seconds later, there was an egg on my face.
The game recognized more than three worms, with Paul only able to eat so many in one go. He became “overfed” and died all the same, amusing me—until I realized I had to start all over again.
Stay on top of the worm count at all times, and the moment the last worm disappears, be sure to paste in another three to give yourself another minute. This continues until you complete the entire puzzle, so don’t forget to replenish Paul’s food every minute.
