Why is it named... Limbo?

[Shaniqua]

I would really like to know how stake came up with the name for this game?

Limbo? I really tried to make a connection and understand the roots, but i seriously have no idea...

just like idk at all where Gary came from or why he is named Gary, the same way idk about limbo.. but i do know limbo came from chartbet jaja

Because i guess the dev or eddie wanted to put a weird name or maybe because in real life limbo the lower the stick the higher points or maybe because limbo means go higher ? 

[bmg]

I was kind of wondering the same thing  lol.  I guess they were in limbo for a name so they just said screw it its Limbo lol who knows.

[davinmark]

haha that was im thinking. i still dont get it why the name is Limbo. 

actually the game is almost the same like chartbet, but the different is we need to set the Payout and can't stop the payout manually when its running

I guess @Edward can provide some insights on how the team arrived at the name. I never thought about it, but now I am also curious how they came up with the name limbo

[ZangerRinus]

Limbo is some kind of dance, a bar gets placed horizontal at a certain height and the dancer should dance under the bar without touching it.
Well I think they did see it like: your target payout is the 'dancer' and the result is the 'bar'. Your target should be below the result, so you should dance under the bar without touching it (touching is what happens when your target is the same as the result).

I have a PS4 game from 2010 that is also called Limbo:

we always can ask wikipedia too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbo

Perhaps because you are in limbo, having unfinished business??... then when you hit that milx you will finally be in heaven?.. lol make sense to me!.. xd

[Mistake]

Maybe you will reach lambo if you hit 100000x

[Snike]

The lower the stick, the higher the risk to hit it and fail. Take the risk and know your limits. I guess thats why they chose Limbo but idk for sure

[FotisNt]

I was wondering the same, i thought limbo is a real life game where you pass under a pole or something.xD

[Shaniqua]

My nonsensical logic told me that it's named Limbo because whenever you play it you're bound to be in a state of limbo (or worst).

Being in a state of Limbo is possibly one of the worst fates  😂 as it usually refers to "the edge of hell", a place for people/souls who don't belong in either heaven or hell. There are scattered references to this place amongst modern media - Marvel, Harry Potter, The Matrix, to name a few. However, all of them generally refer to it as a place where characters are stuck without purpose or presence, a place for the non-existent, a term to describe "nothing".

Knowing that, I am hoping Stake does have another meaning as to why they named the game that, as I wouldn't want to share the same fate as those trapped in Limbo. 😱😱

[Shaniqua]

Long story short nobody dafuk knows prolly neither anyone behind the scenes either lol since no official response

[octoling]

i think that this game is named "limbo" in stake because we can get very high payouts, in other games we can't  get payouts like 500000x o higher

[heatz2]

Limbo seems very similar to Crash on csgo sites 

[HighDamage]

Lol, yeah, pretty simple concept -- your target payout must be lower than the rolled results. Nice graphic

[lotad]

I think it is accelerated graph where you put uour bet per second.

[EthanHunz]

Because it can make you dance i guess 🤣

[barbaris]

Searches in Google do not give an answer to the question. Everywhere Limbo a computer game with the elements of horror. 

[Etude]

Likely because the potential of the multipliers on it is endless? Pretty much like the saying stuck in a limbo.  🤔

[poloalto]

I am a new player in stake, and I do not know what the chartbet game looks like. Can you tell me how to chartbet. Hopefully you can help, thank you

[KiXxnTRiXx]

I thought about it some more and i think ive figured it out.. its called limbo because limb= you will lose limbs from playing this cancer game.. o= is actually a zero.. limbZero,, lose of all limbs.. xD.. gawd im smart.. lel

[Sped]

Because they didnt want to make another "crash" gamemode so in limbo you have to keep trying to get lower and lower, so maybe they just used the opposite meaning?
