Over 800 gamers tried and failed to beat a retro 80s game without a guide

There’s no shame in looking up how to do something in a video game, but if push came to shove, many of us would like to think we’d do just fine without a hint. Around 800 people put this idea to the test, literally, by taking a specialized exam created by game developer Woe Industries. The challenge: Beat an adventure game from the 80s, but without the help of a walkthrough. The participants would be monitored while playing a surprise game via a digital proctor that could determine if the gamer enlisted help in some way.
