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.
Spread
One definition for the phrase was submitted by AztecEagle on July 19, 2013 that aptly explained the quote's usage in its respective film series.[1] An image macro series that shows Jigsaw's mask with text captioned on it (that normally involves the aforementioned phrase,) has a gallery on Meme Generator. There are approximately 2,445 images submitted as of June 20, 2015.[2]
The quote became popular enough that various images have been associated with it. Most often these images involve changing toilet paper into something more abrasive for an unsuspecting user, or having a slug surrounded by a maze made of salt, which will painfully hurt it if the mollusk touches the walls.

John Kramer/Jigsaw/Billy The Puppet:
Hello, Xavier, I want to play a game. The game I want to play is very similar to the game you've been playing as a drug dealer. The game of offering hope to the desperate, for a price. I think we can agree that your situation is desperate. So, I offer you hope. The price you pay is that you must crawl into the same pit
of squalor you force your customers into. By entering this room, you have started a timer. When the timer expires, the door in front of you will be locked forever. Only in finding the key before the timer runs out can you unlock it and retrieve the antidote inside. I will give you just one hint where to that key is: It will be like finding a needle in a hay stack. Let the game begin.
