NOT FOR KIDS – Frog Fractions
Frog Fractions was thought to be a cutesy educational game starring a frog who taught players how to solve fractions. As it turns out, the developers were just trolling players.
The real goal of the game is for players to become president. Along the way, you’ll ride dragons through asteroid fields, conquer Bug Mars, fight a robot squid and even listen to a narrated history about how boxing was created. Frog Fractions ended up being a way to lampoon video games in general. So where do the fractions come into play? This is how your score is tallied. The game never once teaches fractions.
Originally, the browser game was a means for developer Jim Crawford to make his friends laugh. His friends began sharing the game with more friends and the experience began catching on with larger crowds.
The surreal and nonsensical experience in turn makes the game the joke and not the player, unlike the rest of the games on this list. Because of this, Frog Fractions gained a cult following and received a sequel, showing that this was one of those times when people were happy to be trolled.
