Hmm, I'd probably challenge him to a single-adventure D&D game; he gets to DM, I get to use any character I want, level limit 15, and he can't make the adventure with foreknoweldge of my character (but has to make it within three levels of difficulty to level 15). Then I bust out my best friend's most annoying PC; Axel Zade, Leader of Odell. Death's got nothing unless he cheats or makes an absolutely terrible adventure; which, I mean, he's welcome to do... but I'll still feel that is cheating, and even damned to hell for eternity it'll be because not even death could face Axel in a fair fight.

Maybe a quick hand of Cripple Mr Onion? Or flip a coin, it's a 50/50 chance but at least it's quick. Unless it's best out of 3. Or 5. Or an increasingly larger odd number.

...Nah, Smash Bros Melee. Partially because I have a chance, partially because if I lose I still have a Smash Buddy in the afterlife.

Guilty Gear X2:Slash. Best 3 of 5, no time limit.

Worst come to worst, at least I have the option of a last-ditch instant kill.

Rock Band Vocals.

If I pick a song I can 100% a few of them on Expert so the odds are good in any event, but my guess is Death's hallmark vocal echoes will completely screw him over.

Assuming this is the traditional skeletal Death, I challenge him to a tanning competition. I'm naturally very pale, but he doesn't even have skin. On top of that, if he stays in the sun for too long, his bones will bleach to an even paler shade of white.

I'm a dude but I bet most girls could beat him in a Wet tee-shirt contest

Is this following the assumption that death will be inhumanly good at whatever thing it is you challenge him to? If so I think I'd go with something that's entirely luck based, like "Uno." That would give me a solid 50% chance against him.

I challenge him to a game of the card game Mao, with a score goal in place so the game ends, as it never does otherwise.

The rules:
No explaining rules.
No playing out of turn.
No talking, except when explaining a penalty, usually expressed as "Bad Card", "Explaining the rules" or "Playing out of turn", calling "Point of Order" or declaring "Last Card".
Talking is only permitted if someone calls a Point of Order. Touching your hand while in Point of Order" results in a penalty (After providing a reasonable frame for players to put down their hand, naturally). play resumes upon announcing "End Point of Order"

Each layer starts with 5 cards.
A single card is placed face up to start.
A card is considered 'Valid' if it is the same suit or rank as the top card on the deck.
Each turn, a player may place a valid card. If they have no such cards, they must draw, saying "Pass". Some versions have a time limit, failure to play results in penalty.
The player to play all cards in their hand wins the round.

After a round ends, the winner makes a new rule to add, not explaining the rule toe other players, as long as the rule is fairly enforced amongst the players and the winner.

Hmmmm depends, I would challenge him to a Pokemon match in real life just so I can go out with real Pokemon. Ultimate meca battle royal also sounds a fun way to go.
However if he has does not have that power, I will go down fighting, devil went down to Georgia style. Guitar battle. Lets face it though we all know what we would do in front of death

(skip to 8:14, I couldn't get it to skip to it in the forum)

Meh, I'll go with fighting games. I suck, but if I win I get to live, if I lose, then, hey, I played one of my favorite genres with Death. How cool is that?
Although I'd be really dissapointed if Death picks some OP characters.

You will, of course, pick Don't Fear the Reaper as your song, otherwise the entire concept of poetic justice will have shriveled up and died. ;)

If it was still 1999 I'd say Turok 2. I literally perfected the headshot in that game, letting me kill anyone almost as soon as they came around a corner with the crossbow. TFC if it was the early 2000's for similar reasons with the sniper. These days though? I guess a game of Starcraft 2. I imagine his bony fingers would have limited APM.

COD multiplayer match, I'd probably be rubbish at it but watching death getting spawn camped, T-bagged and screamed at by illiterate 12 year old's would be pretty worth it even if I lost.

Pokemon battle! The way I see it there's a decent chance he wouldn't be familiar with the game and making a good competitive team does take some practice and knowledge of the game mechanics. Besides even if I lose it'd at least be kind of nice being able to go out playing a game I really enjoyed, not to mention seeing what Pokemon death favors. I'm guessing at least one ghost type.
