Pretty obvious, this one, but always satisfying if you pull it off. Just head over to the big advertising screen (it'll usually be playing ads with loud music), start dancing, and try to whip up bystanders to join you. Then, when the crowd has filled out, step back to admire your handiwork. Or point and laugh, and pretend you were never involved. The choice is yours.

You know the words by now. Dance, flirt, attract a crowd, then let rip with a chorus of Astley's finest. They'll either love you or walk away bamboozled. Either way, you win.

Gamers on the internet spread rumours faster than herpes at an orgy. Big projects like Home always attract rumours. So start one in Home about Home, then hang back and see how many people test it out.

Dirty tricks played on other people. Hilarious

Former GamesRadar+ Features Writer

Former (and long-time) GamesRadar+ writer, Dave has been gaming with immense dedication ever since he failed dismally at some '80s arcade racer on a childhood day at the seaside (due to being too small to reach the controls without help). These days he's an enigmatic blend of beard-stroking narrative discussion and hard-hitting Psycho Crushers.
