Pick Up the Game and Be Underwhelmed, January 1, 2023by Lance Cirone (Backwater, Vermont) Looking back at the game now, it doesn't seem that revolutionary or interesting. It's almost a troll game, if anything. Games like Aisle have done its concept so much better. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
What it says on the tin, May 20, 2022 by feamir Excellent deadpan humor. I was not expecting it to be possible to actually be able to win this game, so it was extra hilarious when I stumbled on the win condition. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A simple joke game, February 8, 2022by Cody Gaisser (Florence, Alabama, United States of America, North America, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, Known Universe, ???) Pick Up The Phone Booth And Die is based around one simple joke (see the title). There are two endings, each funny but neither hilarious. The game is famous within the interactive fiction community and gets referenced a lot, so play it if you want to understand the references (it's so short, you might as well).

Clever But Underimplemented, December 13, 2020This is certainly a minimalistic work, but the title actually undersells it. In a clever twist, picking up the phone booth and dying is only half of what Pick Up The Phone Booth And Die has to offer. Uncovering the other half is the real challenge here.

A Masterpiece for the Modern Age, September 6, 2020by deathbytroggles (Minneapolis, MN) When looking at the reviews so far for this game I am, frankly, surprised and appalled. A plurality of folks (probably well-meaning folks, but you never know) gave it only one star. Please bear with me as I dissect how very wrong they are. Was this review helpful to you?

A silly but well-known game, February 3, 2016by MathBrush Pick up the phone booth and die has one idea: try picking up the phone booth. Then die. Exactly one related action will win the game instead. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Other Games Do It Better, March 25, 2012by Jim Kaplan (Jim Kaplan has a room called the location. The location of Jim Kaplan is variable.) Related reviews: rob noyes, one-room, short Play it if: you have fairly low standards for joke IF. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Ha ha., August 2, 2011by guttaperk A joke game that wasn't that funny; but at least it wasn't annoying. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Don't be hating, November 2, 2010by tggdan3 (Michigan) Okay, it's clearly a joke game. And yes, it's a one room game with only one item in it- the phone booth. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
