My first such game started innocently enough. I created a Facebook Group called "Facebook Survivor" and sent invites to all of my co-workers. The premise of the game would be simple: every day, all players would cast a vote for who they wanted to kick off the corporate "island." The co-worker with the most votes would be banished from the Facebook Group. The last player remaining in the group would win. Facebook fame and glory would follow.

Dozens of co-workers instantly joined the group to play the game and started forging alliances, plotting, and inevitably double-crossing each other. I realized that the simple rules I had put into place would not suffice for the bloodthirsty nature of the players. They needed more.

I added daily immunity challenges to the game, making sure all of them involved a Facebook feature in some way. Some of the challenges utilized discussion boards, such as the zesty "Superlative Nomination" challenge or the unforgettable "Diss Bob's Mom" challenge. Other challenges utilized photos, such as the "Ride the Bull, Post a Photo" challenge or the "Post a photo taken with as many Facebook employees as you possibly can" challenge.

The cutthroat nature of the game raged on. Facebook project deadlines were forsaken. Crucial allies were backstabbed. Facebook friends were removed. When there were three contestants left, the final immunity challenge was waged game-show style involving trivia about Facebook Survivor itself. When only two remained, the Facebook Survivor Council, which was comprised of the last seven outcasts, voted for the one who would remain standing. After all the dust had settled, one person emerged victorious: the devious James Wang.
