The Junk Mail Game
Ideal when living in temporary accomadation such as uni flats/shared house.

Objective: To sign up for as much junk mail as possible. (Junk E-mail does not count!)

Every player is assigned a fake name, usually a variation of your least favourite flatmates name - or if you really hate them, their real name. Feel free to change the titles of your chosen name to Prof. or Dr etc.

Look around on the interweb for sites that offer free samples such as for tampax, tenna lady, huggies etc. Fill out as many of these application forms as possible using your allocated fake name and your real address. Within a few days you should start to receive lots of fantastic things in the post.

The winner is the person who receieves the most or most intresting mail for their chosen name.

TIPS: Avoid your landlord when you have moved out and dont forget to ask for your deposit as soon as you can!

Be creative with your chosen name - dont worry if you think someone might catch on that you are taking the piss with your free sample application since most ordering systems are fully automated.

Good luck!

(Be aware that some offers are limited to one household only)
