### Final Round

#### Pencil vs David

 File:Bandicam 2018-04-12 20-43-01-237.jpg  David jumpscares Pencil, but Pencil didn't blink as he did so. Pencil then tries to make David blink, but David didn't. They kept staring for a day, until the sun got into David's eyes, and made him blink. (Pencil Wins)

### BFB

In "Four Goes Too Far", Bubble gets the twinkle, and once she gets it, Match decides to have a staring contest with her, so they begin to stare and continuously pass the Twinkle of Contagion to each other. The game soon ends once Pen opens his eyes to see what the sound is. It turns out to be Match and Bubble passing the twinkle to each other. They notice that Pen is staring at them, so Match stares at him to pass the twinkle.

## Raves

Raves are shown to be had in PUMPKIN 2.0 - BFDI Halloween Shorts.

## Activities

**Rock Paper Scissors** is a game mostly played by Foldy and Stapy. However, other contestants have played it prior to BFB.

### Coverage

In "Take the Plunge: Part 1", Leafy and Pin plays Rock Paper Scissors to determine who will push one another off the bar.

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Fries told Stapy to stop wasting his time by playing Rock Paper Scissors. But Stapy told Fries:

In "Today's Very Special Episode", Stapy was mentioning to Foldy that he was getting a winning streak. Marker then asks to join, Foldy says yes, but also asks if he knows how to play. Marker doesn't causing Foldy to say: "That's fine." but causing Stapy to say: "That's lame.", resulting in Foldy to be angry at Stapy. She then explains on how to play. She said:

Marker tries to play but he ends up pointing a finger, making a house, and a "Hecaton-icosahedroid". Finally, he makes a 4, resulting in Four literally popping up from his hand.

### All symbols made in the game

* Rock
* Paper
* Scissors
* Finger
* House
* Hecatonicosahedroid
* 4

### Trivia

* This is the first game to be seen in the BFDI series.
	+ Leafy & Pin played it, making them the only original contestants to do so.
* When Marker played Four, Four emerged from his hand. In Enter The Exit, he does this again in an attempt to recover Four, but didn't work.
* It is unknown if the game will be played again because Stapy got eliminated in "This Episode Is About Basketball".

## Tic-Tac-Toe

*"Tic-Tac-Toe" redirects here. For the BFDI Mini Again episode, see Tic Tac Toe.*

## Tic-Tac-Toe

### Last appearance

"What Do You Think of Roleplay?"

**Tic-Tac-Toe** is a game played by two characters on a 9-square grid, where the objective is to make a row, column, or diagonal line of your consecutive symbol — either an "x" or an "o". Turns are alternated between players, where only one symbol is placed each turn.

 File:Tic tac toe.PNG  In "Gardening Hero", Tic-Tac-Toe was first played by Firey and Leafy. Leafy had just won her 73rd game in a row. Firey wanted a rematch, which Leafy eventually ended up agreeing to.

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Pie and Cake are seen playing Tic-Tac-Toe, while Book watches. Cake ends up winning. Cake apologizes, due to the fact that Pie could be upset. Pie doesn't mind, saying "You win some, You lose some." Book tells Pie and Cake that it's a good way to look at things.

Leafy and Eggy resume the game in "What Do You Think of Roleplay?". During the challenge, Eggy won their 73rd game together, causing Leafy to accuse her of being the impostor, due to her never winning before then. However, Eggy was real and just happened to finally win a game.

### Contestant track records

* Firey: 0-73
* Leafy: 146-1
* Pie: 0-1
* Cake: 1-0
* Eggy: 1-73

## Toss the Dirt

### Last appearance

"Why Would You Do This on a Swingset" (mentioned)
"This Episode Is About Basketball" (as Toss the Balls)

> Sounds dirty, but OK.
>
> Puffball

**Toss the Dirt** is a made-up game usually played by Stapy and Marker. The game appears to be played by manually digging a hole for yourself, tossing dirt and any other objects upwards as you dig. The goal of this game is unclear.

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Marker asks Stapy to play it with him, which they do. Dora likes the concept of collecting dirt in order to build an island (which is what she eats), and begins to dig with them too.

In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Marker asked Puffball if she wanted to play it, with her agreeing. However, they are interrupted by Fries before they begin.

In "Four Goes Too Far", a Twinkle-contaminated Pen convinces Marker to look at him by offering some "very tossable dirt"; Marker slowly turns around, but Fries stops him from opening his eyes.

In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Yellow Face tells Marker to play "Toss the Balls". He accepts the request and tosses the balls into their basket, making the basket land on their buzzer. They then are declared safe. Fries tells Marker he can stop tossing items, but Marker continues tossing and digging a hole.

 File:Screenshot 6.png
### Trivia

* It is unknown how they get out of the hole they make.
* This game is similar to the running gag in "Get Digging", in which Fries asks several people to dig holes to find ingredients.
* Marker and Stapy are currently the only two people to have played the game on-screen.
* Stapy and Marker's game of Toss the Dirt was very crucial to Four and X visiting Goiky, and with it, *Battle for BFDI* taking place, as it sets up a butterfly effect; the game convinces Dora to go digging, where she digs up some cyanide, which Flower quickly caught and convinced Black Hole open it. Black Hole then approaches Earth and threatens the planet, causing Four to crush Black Hole to smaller size, saving everyone.

### Eat the Dirt

> Stapy! Will you play Eat the Dirt with me?
>
>

## Eat The Dirt

### First appearance

This Episode Is About Basketball (only appearance so far)

```
**Eat the Dirt** is a game that Marker wanted to play with Stapy in "This Episode Is About Basketball". It is similar in complexity to Toss the Dirt. The objective of the game is unknown, but it is most likely to eat the dirt on the plate given to you. Stapy doesn't like Eat The Dirt, as seen when he turned Marker down when he wanted to play. Coiny, however, took advantage of it when Marker said it and gave him his long-stale dirt cake from BFDI 4 that no one wanted.

```

#### Trivia

* It may or may not have been created simply by a slip of the tongue of Marker.
* Coiny and Marker are the only characters to play this game, as they played it off-screen.
* This can be proved when, at Free Food's elimination, there is an empty plate next to Marker, implying he ate the plate of dirt Coiny had.

## Spongy Cake

### Last appearance

Fortunate Ben

```
**Spongy Cake** is a song and game Match and Pencil created and played in *Battle for Dream Island*, and which Match and Ruby played in *Battle for Dream Island Again* and *Battle for BFDI*.

```

The game was first played by striking one of the miniature objects with the other miniature object (though later in the series Match and Ruby playing it similarly to the real-life nursery-rhyme patty-cake) as you sing a rhyme. In the **BFDIA** intro, Match and Pencil seem to be playing it, and in the IDFB intro, Pencil is in her original position, even though Match isn't there. In "Fortunate Ben", Match and Ruby can be seen playing it again, but with different lyrics.

In "X Marks the Spot", Two can be seen playing patty-cake (original variation) with X.

### Lyrics

#### BFDI, BFDIA

*1, 2, 3, 4. Who do we not adore?*
*Spongy! Spongy!*
*5, 6, 7, 8. Who do we (absolutely) hate?*
*Spongy! Spongy!*
*9, 10, and then 11—*
The rest of the lyrics are unknown since it is halted. Ruby and Match changed the second line "5, 6, 7, 8. Who do we hate? Spongy! Spongy!" by adding "absolutely" in between "we" and "hate".

#### BFB

The lyrics were also altered quite a bit by Ruby and Match, as seen in "Fortunate Ben".

*1, 2, 3, 4. Who do we think is a stupid annoying bore?*
*Spongy! Spongy!*
*5, 6, 7, 8.*
### Appearances

* In "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", Match and Pencil played it with miniature versions of themselves which soon catch on fire.
* In "Crybaby!", they play it again off-screen.
* In "Return of the Hang Glider", Snowball comments that it is a dumb game after Match suggests playing it to kill time.
* In "It's a Monster", Match and Ruby played the game but did not use a matchstick, like how the game was originally played. Instead, they made it into a hand clapping game.
* In "Fortunate Ben", Match and Ruby are seen playing it as a hand clapping game with the rhyme changed to *1, 2, 3, 4. Who do we think is a stupid annoying bore?*. When Ruby comes back after talking to Flower, Match says that she analyzed the game and started playing with Spongy likely after realizing that it was a mean game.

### Trivia

* The title might be a pun on the type of cake, Sponge Cake.
	+ Additionally, it seems like it's based on Patty Cake.
	+ Or it could be a reference to the many clapping games that end with “Cake”.
* It is Ruby's favorite game.
* Match and Pencil are the first contestants to play this game.
* According to the storyboards for "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", the part that comes after "9, 10, and then 11" was intended to be "Who do we wish would die and go to heaven? Spongy! Spongy!"

## Flower Power

**Flower Power** was an activity mentioned in "Fortunate Ben" and "Don't Dig Straight Down". The objective is growing the most petals out of your head, making the game mostly biased in Flower's favor.

It is Flower's favorite game.

## Not Canon-dy Land

This activity seems to be a play on the game "Candy Land". The *Battle for Dream Island* and *Inanimate Insanity* characters are seen playing it in "BFDI and II Finally Cross Over". It appears to be played like a normal board game, where you roll a die and move along spaces to reach the end. The die used in this game seems to be the Magic Die from "Sweet Tooth". The name also obviously renders the video it's featured in as un-canon.
