One of many or a unique one?

Hi. Should we put the definite article "the" or the indefinite article "a" before the name of the game "Find the Error"? Thank you in advance for your help.

Yesterday he played a? / the? Find the Error game.

The basic problem with your sentence—and it is the sort of sentence we often get from learners—is that we do not normally use the name of the game and the word 'game' together. This is what we say: Yesterday he played 'Find the Error'.
