The name 'Unfair Games' is widely disputed among the three characters, Marx, Sadie, and Sam, as each claim they came up with it.
Marx believed the name came from a line in 'The Tempest'.
Sadie thought it was based upon a childhood phrase she often uttered, "It's unfair".
Sam insisted he named 'Unfair Games' when he was in the hospital with a broken ankle, arguing that games could be fairer than life itself. He believes he even wrote the name on a paper, although it was never found.
The validity of Sam's stories is often in doubt, as they are either apocryphal or retroactively constructed.
