You challenge Death to a competition for your soul: What do you challenge him to?

[Brendan Stepladder]

That's right. You are facing off with the Grim Reaper, Bill and Ted 2 style, in a competition for your soul. Failure or refusing to challenge Death will result in an eternity of hellfire. Victory means everlasting salvation in heaven. No pressure, though, it's all good.

The twist? You can pick what you challenge Death to. Just be aware that he/she-if-this-is-Marvel will play just as dirty as you do, so don't cheat if you can help it. Also, you need to challenge Death to a pre-established game/sport/what-have-you that has been played before on Earth. No inventing a special Star Trek poetry contest in Turkish to outwit him.

Feel free to be creative!

Gonna challenge him to a game of scrabble then.
There are no time limits .
Thus, I am free to roam the earth forever as a quasi-immortal.

I'd challenge him to a game of Life, but play it at the pace my life actually goes. Four years to get through college, meeting someone, getting married, having kids, getting a mortgage, retirement...would be fun, I think.

 

[klaynexas3]

A speedrun of Crash Bandicoot 2. It's not like he has been playing it for as long as he can remember(it's one of the first games I've ever played, and I cannot remember a time before I had played that game. God that's sad). I've got the upper hand.

 

[KP Shadow]

Sonic '06.

I'm one of the few people who's actually good at the game, so I should have this in the bag.

 

[Aerosteam]

Stare contest. Universe champion right here, but that doesn't matter since I'd win by default because Death doesn't have eyes.

But seriously I'd go with...

NO ITEMS FINAL DESTINATION FOX ONLY.

 

[Heronblade]

Assuming we speak of the usual avatar of death here:

Swimming contest, being careful to define the use of weird abilities mortals do not possess as cheating.

Personally? I'm a crap swimmer, but I bet I can do a hell of a lot better than a skeleton.

 

[Trucken]

Calvinball.

Seriously, Calvinball. Think about it, you know it's the only correct choice.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

We both play every challenge in Arkham City. Highest overall score wins.

In other words, I win. No one's a better Batman then me.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Olympic Speed Masturbation

'Nuff Said

 

[Fractral]

It would obviously be this. Maybe I could drag it out a while, but I'd have to learn the rules first.

 

[thisbymaster]

Calvinball.

Seriously, Calvinball. Think about it, you know it's the only correct choice.

Correct, you can just keep playing without any end.

 

[Random berk]

Who can hold their breath the longest. Death's lack of functioning lungs should give me the advantage.

 

[Mark Rhodes]

I'd challenge him to a 1v1 mge team fortress 2 demoman fight.

 

[Happiness Assassin]

Competition of skill against one of the biggest allegorical figures in all of human culture? Anything other than a fiddle contest wouldn't cut it.


Maybe not death, but close enough.

 

[Vausch]

Most skin contest.

I win.

 

[Kyr Knightbane]

Putting in Contacts. He lacks eyes and therefore loses.

I'm also taking his scythe as a consolation prize. I prefer to think he has them like Death from Darksiders 2, so i'll hang onto those babies.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I'd challenge him to a scavenger hunt around my hometown. I'm assuming Death is significantly less familiar with it, although given the amount of old people living here I'm not sure sure.

 

[DRTJR]

Legend of Zelda trivia contest.
