The Inspiration Behind Florida Man Games

The "Florida Man" concept started a decade ago with the @_FloridaMan Twitter account. The account posts real-life stories of the world's worst superhero. Some of these stories include “Florida Man Fire Bombs Garage That Impounded His Car Hits His Vehicle” and “Florida Man Tried to Pay for McDonald’s With Weed.”

Melfi was inspired to create the Florida Man Games to leverage these headlines in a novel way. He wanted to commemorate the Florida Man phenomenon and create an opportunity for people to experience what it feels like to live like a Floridian for a day.
