Here’s a thread of all the folk game tiktoks I’ve been collecting for the past few months! Starting with a great use of high stakes

Building a lego set without opening the packaging

Top 1 zoom game imo

that’s the stuff right here

great use of golden retriever

Love the teens. Thank you teens you are so cool

a duel

cinema

paintball variant!

don’t forget to document your process everyone

love the asymmetry here

cannot stress enough how good a “be silent” rule is for a game

top ten tiktok right here. Don’t let the stick on top fall

high level of crowd investment

two players on one controller is always great, but this tiktok has three full acts

big jump rope

A game about keeping the performance going but also with an entire crowd!! So good

unclear if you’re only supposed to push on the drum beat??? I think so but it’s great when a rule is also more of a guideline

ONE MORE STEP

solitaire folk game

cinema pt 2

I think important to note here is that they’re pressing the shuffle button and not the next button. So there is both the chance of long strings of winners and long strings of consecutive losers

one of my favs

I spy with a tiktok filter omg I love them

important bonus dog here

Evolution of dvd hitting the corner is naturally blu-ray point

It’s the off camera “you’re trash” for me. Also note the swapping of seats!!!

a well oiled machine

Another entry into the enormous genre of slapping folk games

Pick up the paper with your mouth and without using your hands on the ground.

you actually love to see it

I like to fly fast and loose with my definition of what a folk game is

level design bay bee

Rock Paper Scissors is ubiquitous

love the scarf

pets can play folk games too

Amazing way to remove the price guilt while eating, to then high stakes decide it at the end.

the boys

It’s about the commitment to the game, yaknow?

extremely good

sometimes you just get got

this one was really popular on tiktok. If your opponent picks up the bowl, you have to knock the table with your knuckles

Same game but with probably a higher level of social investment

You know it’s about the quality of your banana swings and not the quantity of your banana swings

FROM BEHIND

This one deservedly went viral on games twitter, a necessary inclusion

Okay but Kadeem is putting the most into it too

The feints from their head and not their hands. That’s the real stuff

100% effort and 100% execution

Another viral and necessary inclusion

The rhythm is the key!!!!

They’re so excited

The scale and slowness at play here is choice

games existed before even people did!!!!!!!

Here it is. My all time favorite, absolutely unbeatable, tiktok folk game

Thank you all for coming, that’s all I have for now but I will add more when I see them!

Man v. Cat variant of beer pong. Love the different sized cups and the way it’s designed around where the cat bed is

Close your eyes! In real life! Do it!

CLINICAL

As always I fly fast and loose with my definition of a folk game

Not letting your friend in until they dance along to the dance of your choice. This started I believe by people playing embarrassing songs through the speakers, and later turned into requiring the dance

I have as little context for this as you do

Folk game with added cat, which is an emerging genre apparently

There was an account on tiktok that (always to this song) found the polish flag in different pictures by zooming and cropping. And this is the REAL LIFE VERSION which is just so good

In this household we love a game with social stakes

I want every decision in my life to get me closer to living life like this person
