Update (May 11, 2020): The Beyhive member who created a choose-your-own-adventure game about being Beyoncé's personal assistant has created a second part on Twitter.
Landon Rivera, 19, first launched the game last year, challenging users to choose a proper solution to several hypothetical situations they might face as the singer’s assistant.
Social media users gladly accepted the challenge when Rivera brought the game back last week.
“Ready to do this again and get fired multiple times but act like i won,” one social media user said.

In the second edition of the game, Rivera scripted the story from the beginning.
“After lying on your resume and hacking the Parkwood Entertainment database you landed the highest demanding jobs as one of 4 of Beyoncé’s assistants!” he wrote.
The hypothetical assistant starts off the day at the singer’s house.
“Make sure to assist all her needs and demands, she's going to an event today,” Rivera wrote.
The user then gets to choose what the singer will eat for breakfast.
“Yogurt, granola, and strawberries or a 5-star breakfast?”
Many users haven’t been able to get far in the game.

“It’s pretty much divided off common logic and some Beyoncé trivia,” Rivera told BuzzFeed. “I know more than enough about Beyoncé, so I decided, why not make it about working with her?”
He insists the game is just for fun and shouldn’t be taken seriously since he purposely exaggerated Bey’s personality.
“I hope she would laugh and not be too offended,” Rivera said. “Especially since I kind of twisted her persona to be a cliché celebrity.”

The 19-year-old, Landon Rivera, came up with the challenge after seeing a similar thread. He hadn’t seen one focused on pop culture, so he decided to make one up.
“It’s pretty much divided off common logic and some Beyoncé trivia,” Rivera told Buzzfeed. “I know more than enough about Beyoncé, so I decided, why not make it about working with her?”
Rivera is currently working on another choose-your-own-adventure thread, and writers have approached him about creating a show. He insists the game is just for fun and shouldn’t be taken seriously since he purposely exaggerated Bey’s personality.
“I hope she would laugh and not be too offended,” Rivera said. “Especially since I kind of twisted her persona to be a cliché celebrity.”
The game has Twitter in shambles.

Do y’all think Beyoncé got fired as her personal assistant when she played the thread on her burner account?

We hope Beyoncé will forgive us for being horrible assistants.
Beyoncé has not addressed the game publicly.
