About
"I Want to Play A Game" is a memorable quote uttered by Jigsaw, the main antagonist of the Saw movie series. Online, the catchphrase has been often used on forum games and rage comics. The phrase is also usually used on images that present an activity that entails a great deal of risk on the participators, most of which are toilet paper pranks and salt mazes that snails seemingly have to get through.
Origin
The quote was first uttered in the movie Saw which was released in 2004. The quote is uttered by Jigsaw to his victims as he begins his death game where the individual must solve puzzles and disarm traps before being killed as time runs out. The quote has subsequently appeared in other movies in the series.
