I'm fairly sure that I got that puzzle first time round! Never worked out the how many fingers code though, and had managed to forget it and found myself hopelessly stuck by it again. Also forget where the laundry ticket was and got infuriated by that all over again.

http://www.boingboing.net/oimages/playpenduck.png
As you wander through the world of PlayPen, clicking from picture to picture by depressing your left mouse button whenever you find an interesting text prompt hidden in the images, you visit places, people, ideas and imaginings created by other players. Sometimes a text prompt will include the words (Draw new page). If you follow one of these prompts, you'll find yourself looking at an empty image and a simple set of drawing tools. This is your opportunity to get creative. Please try to remember how you got there though, so your new page makes sense when other people come to visit it. Also, if you're looking at someone else's page and you think I have a great idea that would make this page even better, please hit the Draw Here button and edit that page.

#106: Sleep is Death – PC – 5 pts – 1 vote – Only two bucks (minimum)!Official Game Site and Download Hub
http://pc.gamezone.com/images/sized/images/screenshots/SleepIsDeathfeature-630x218.jpg
Gamasutra Analysis
Forksclovetofu: It's a two-player only game where people take thirty second turns scripting, scoring and animating an 8-bit environment that they each play through together. My vote for Sleep Is Death is nearly a meta-recommendation; I wasn’t able to devote the time and energy it required you to put into it, but the concept and the quantum leap forward that it made even as a proof of concept deserves acknowledgement. If this had come out when I was in high school and had lots of free time, I basically would’ve eat/sleep/breathed this; as it is, I probably played it four times and backed slowly away. I blame myself, not the game.

Mordy: This was really easy to set up; I made an interrogation room, a visitor's room for a prison, a house, a prisoner in striped pajamas and a hanging interrogation style lightbulb. Everything else I needed came with the game. I'm already working on something for my wife where I made an avatar that looks like her.

I played this a few times but I don't think I ended up voting for it. It was enjoyable but it was also a lot of work. When you get home in the evening you don't want to start creating objects and slaving over textures to make them look right. Also, there were way more people who wanted to play with your worlds than vice-versa, and it's much more satisfying being the player than the creator. xp
