Awesome Challenges to Do With Friends
The Pickle Challenge
Some of the most popular and fun challenges include food that you already have at home.The pickle challenge is one of the most entertaining food-related challenges out there. It is a great way to challenge your friends and show off your pickle eating skills. Compete with your friends in eating an entire jar of pickles and drinking all the juice, and see who finishes the jar first. To make the challenge even more interesting, you can add a time limit and see who can eat the most pickles in the given time frame.
The Cinnamon Challenge
The cinnamon challenge is another popular challenge to do with friends at home. While cinnamon is a spice that tastes great when lightly sprinkled on a variety of foods, the cinnamon challenge is not as easy as it looks. To successfully complete this fun challenge, you need to have a full tablespoon of this spice in a minute without drinking any liquids. This is particularly difficult because cinnamon instantly clears out the saliva from your mouth. This challenge will leave you with a burning sensation in your mouth, so you might want to think twice before trying it out.
The Hot Pepper Challenge
This food related challenge is incredibly hot and crazy because it involves eating and swallowing an entire hot pepper. There are a wide variety of hot peppers to choose from, so it’s up to you and your friends to do your research and decide which hot pepper to eat. Keep in mind that this challenge leaves a burning sensation in the mouth and throat and sweating, so be careful and always keep a large quantity of milk or water nearby to help relieve the burning sensation.
The Chubby Bunny Challenge
For this challenge, all you need is friends and plenty of marshmallows. You will need to put as many marshmallows in your mouth as possible and try to say: “Chubby Bunny”. Compete with the other participants to see who can stuff more marshmallows into their mouth. You will have to put one marshmallow at a time, avoid chewing and try to say Chubby Bunny. Keep repeating the process of stuffing your mouth until you can’t say the word anymore. The game will continue until only one person (the winner) remains.
The Saltine Challenge
It might just seem like a great opportunity to have a snack, but this food challenge is a lot more difficult than it seems. For this challenge, you have to eat the greatest amount of saltines in under one minute. However, you have to eat one saltine at a time and you cannot have water or another drink in between. Saltines are extremely dry, salty and hard to swallow, and that’s what makes this game fun and challenging.
The Blindfolded Makeup Challenge
The blindfolded makeup challenge is really hilarious and fun one to do at home. As the name suggests, this game requires you to blindfold yourself and do your friend’s makeup. Make sure you have blindfolds or eye masks to cover your eyes and a variety of makeup including eye shadows, lipsticks, eyeliner, foundation, and blush. Each participant will be assigned to do the makeup on another person while wearing a blindfold.
The Blindfolded Food Tasting Challenge
For this extremely fun challenge, none of the participants can know the foods that are included in the taste test. Each participant should wear a blindfold as they taste the different foods and ingredients and try to identify them. If the blindfolded person cannot guess right away, the other person should give them a few more bites of the food. Some great ideas for a blindfold taste test include hot sauce, various cheeses, ice cream, pickles, yogurt, baby food, and various fruits and vegetables.
The Eat It or Wear It Challenge
Another fun challenge you can do at home with your friends or loved ones. As the name suggests, in this hilarious game sometimes you eat food and sometimes you wear it. Assign numbers to the food items you’ve chosen, write down the numbers on separate pieces of paper and put them in a box. Then, each participant should pick a random number from the box and decide whether to eat or wear the item they picked. This challenge is amusing but very messy, so make sure you’re wearing old clothes.
The Whisper Challenge
The whisper challenge is an entertaining guessing game that you and your friends will certainly enjoy playing. You will need a set of noise-cancelling headphones and a few short and catchy phrases written on separate pieces of paper. Put the headphones on someone’s ears and play loud music. Then pick out a phrase and say it to the person with headphones, who will need to read your lips to guess what the phrase is. You can use literally any phrase you want for this challenge.
The Accent Challenge
For the accent challenge, you will need to write various accents on sheets of paper. One participant will hold the piece of paper with the accent that is randomly selected above their head, while the other person will try to imitate the accent. The person who is holding the paper has three chances to guess what kind of accent the other person is imitating. Some good ideas for accents include British accents, Canadian accents, German accents and French accents.
