I have to solve this problem. Let's play a game. And I have to change this question into passive voice.

  • You can't. In essence, if not in detail, this is exactly the same question as It's related to voice—and the essential answer is the same as there.

    Can you explain why you have to change this to passive? Are you being paid to do this?

You can't. The main verb in this sentence is "Let", and it is being used in an imperative form (but in the well-known idiom "let's" which is used to raise a suggestion)

You can't change imperative to passive and you can't change "Let's" sentences to passive.

The infinitve clause "play a game" has a verb (play) and object (a game) and this can be put into a passive form: "a game be played", so

Let a game be played (by us)

Is a correctly formed sentence. It is just not a very common expression, so don't actually say this.
