The Truth About Viral Charlie Charlie Challenge

In The Young Turks on YouTube by Hlarson0 Comments

 

“You – or your wayward demonic teens – might have summoned up a malignant Mexican spirit with a couple of pencils. But, thankfully, all is probably well — here’s what’s really going on in the Charlie Charlie Challenge.

What’s the Charlie Charlie Challenge and where did it come from?

The Charlie Charlie Challenge — or variants of it, known as the pencil game or Charlie pencil — has been around for some time. It’s claimed that the game is an old Mexican tradition, but there’s no trace of that on the internet, but it seems to have been around for years before it took off this week.

To play the game, grab a sheet of paper and draw two lines on it to make a cross. Put a “yes” in the top right and bottom left hand corner, and a “no” in the remaining two.” *
