Last month, Hypable partnered with the official Merlin Facebook Game to offer fans the chance to have their dialogue featured in the game! See the winners here.

As part of our big Month of Merlin celebration to send off the BBC series in style, we interviewed the creators of the Merlin Game and also collaborated with them on a contest where fans would submit original pieces of dialogue between the characters.

Originally, the contest was meant to have only one winner whose dialogue would go into the game itself, but the creators over at Bossa Studios were just too impressed by all the great entries they received, it was impossible to choose! So congratulations to the two winners who will see their lines of dialogue featured in the game, as well as the four runners-up who will receive Merlin Game t-shirts!

The two winning Merlin Game submissions:

J. King:

Arthur: MERLIN!
Merlin: Yes, Sire?
Arthur: Have you polished my armor? Mucked out the stables? Cleaned my chambers?
Merlin: You really are a prat.
Arthur: What did you say?
Merlin: I said yes I’ve done all that.
Arthur: You really are useless, Merlin. I don’t know why I keep you around.
Merlin: Because you’re helpless on your own and you need me at your side.
Arthur: I don’t NEED anyone Merlin.
Merlin: Of course you don’t. Sire.

Bec Hayward:

Gaius: Merlin, I need you to help me with something.
Merlin: What do you need, Gaius?
Gaius: The leech tank needs cleaning.
Merlin: Oh no, I’m not going near that thing!
Gaius: Merlin –
Merlin: No, I was pulling leeches off for half an hour last time! Anyway, Arthur needs me.
Gaius: He’s in council.
Merlin: Er, Gwen needs help with sewing?
Gaius: …..
Merlin: Oh, fine.

The four runners-up:

Elizabeth Cooper:

Merlin: Gwen, have you seen Arthur?
Gwen: No. Why?
Merlin: Oh, good. I forgot to do his laundry.
Gwen: Uh, Merlin?
Merlin: And I know that knucklehead will probably punish me for it.
Gwen: Merlin, stop talking.
Merlin: He’s right behind me, isn’t he?
Arthur: Yes, I am.
Merlin: Hey Arthur! You know I just joking right?
Arthur: Sure, you are. Now go muck out the stables!

Nicole Davis:

Arthur: Guinevere seems to be missing one of her old dresses.
Merlin: Why are you telling me?
Arthur: You wouldn’t happen to know where it is, would you?
Merlin: No. Why would I?
Arthur: You’ve shown an interest in such things in the past…
Merlin: That was one time:
Arthur: …so I thought you might know something about this incident.
Merlin: It wasn’t even for me!
Arthur: Just tell me if it shows up, will you?

Amy Akerman:

Gwen: …Hello Arthur…
Arthur: Guinevere, you look like your deep in thought, care to share?
Gwen: It’s just… I mean, Merlin.
Arthur: What’s he gone and done now?
Gwen: There is just something about him; I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Arthur: I know the feeling.
Gwen: I just saw him running through the courtyard, like he was on a mission?!
Arthur: The only mission I want Merlin on is cleaning my socks.

Natascha Borgstein:

Arthur: Merlin! Where have you been all afternoon? Please tell me you weren’t at the tavern again?
Merlin: No sire! I was out… helping a friend.
Arthur: Helping a friend? You were supposed to be helping me, I am the king and you are my servant, though a rather useless one.
Merlin: It was necessary my lord, we-
Arthur: Necessary?! What could possibly be more necessary than a training session with my knights?!
Merlin: (muttering to himself) Seems like you need more training than your knights do.
Arthur: What was that, Merlin?
Merlin: Oh nothing, my lord, nothing… dollop head.
Arthur: MERLIN!

These are all absolutely hilarious – and very in character, too! Congratulations to everyone who won a prize, and thank you to everyone who submitted their dialogue, too! We had a read through on all of them; there’s some real talent in the bunch – and some great fanfics just waiting to happen.

Let’s have a dance of celebration for the lucky winners:

The winners will be contacted by Bossa Studios so you can all be sent your t-shirts. Check out the Merlin Game and play it on Facebook, and follow them on Tumblr!
