Other people have already said it, but it's Tetris.
Its the only game ever made that I would describe as "perfect".
It takes seconds to learn how to play, while the skill ceiling is in the stratosphere. It's endlessly replayable, the music is iconic, and it's available for basically any platform made in the last 40 years.
All they need to do is let people keep their original bsky handle when they switch to domain verification. You'd still see some copycat accounts, but the barrier of entry is now higher as it would require someone to purchase a lookalike domain name

They say "Do not eat" on the package, but they're not especially harmful if you do.

Important note about muddling: you're just looking to get the mint to release the oils, but not the chlorophyll. Dont beat the hell out of your mint, just press it against the sugar a couple times.
