The Marshmallow Test is a self-control game in which players choose one of eight options presented on an 8x8 grid, where the number inside each square represents their age as they grow up (e.g., "2" for ages 2 and 3). Players must resist temptation by eating only marshmallows until time runs out or choosing to eat both marshmallows if available in a row that ends with two squares filled vertically on top of one another, creating an 8x8 square pattern made entirely from the chosen food. The game can be played solo (with friends) and involves self-control challenges for those between ages 2 and 3 as well as teenagers aged 13 or older who play alone but not everyone agrees that this is a "game".
