In 2015, a phenomenon known as the “Charlie Charlie Challenge” took the internet by storm. It's since become one of the most easily identifiable paranormal ghost game around — sort of like the current generation's version of the time-honored classic, Bloody Mary — but it's worth noting that it isn't the only game of this sort floating around out there. There are loads of games like “Charlie Charlie” bopping around the internet; what's more, the rules for most of them are usually just a Google search away. Feel like tempting fate today? Maybe today's the day that you really, really want to creep yourself out? Read on.
Play a game of card but with a naughty twist! Assign sexy little tasks to each sign of the card, for example, a ten-minute long kiss for the hearts, or an hour-long massage for the spades, etc. Then ask your boyfriend to pick one card to start the game. You’ll have to do the task that is assigned to the card he picks. Play a game of Truth or Dare, with very little truth involved. Dares can include things like: 'Talk dirty to me for 20 minutes. Kiss me without using your hands to touch any other body parts.
I've mentioned before that I consider creepypasta to be the modern day equivalent of the urban legends so many of us grew up telling at sleepovers and around campfires. Games and rituals like 'Charlie Charlie' are no different; indeed, these days, they're even classified as a particular subgenre of creepypasta: 'Ritualpasta.' What's notable about ritualpasta is that the stories often get their punch from making you, the reader, into the protagonist — the star of the tale.

It can work very well for seasoned couples too, just as long as both of you are far away and missing each other. Read: Naughty ways to make a long distance relationship work.
This is probably why I spend so much of my free time reading and researching them, although I'll admit that I'm usually to wary to actually want to try playing them.
Do I believe any of these games actually work? To be honest, not really. I suspect that some of them — the ones that are closer to meditation than to the alleged summoning of a ghost or demon or whatever — might yield more tangible results; however, your mileage is likely to vary in each and every case. If you do give any of them a shot, though, I'd recommend taking them absolutely seriously: Don't cut corners, take common sense precautions, and don't treat them as a joke. Even if you don't really believe in them… well, better safe than sorry, right?
1. The Three Kings
A Redditor going by the name FableForge posted the instructions — or “recipe,” as it later became known — for The Three Kings on the r/NoSleep subreddit during the summer of 2012. It became so popular that it later spawned a subreddit of its own devoted entirely to games and rituals of this sort. The setup involves shutting yourself in a room with two mirrors at 3:30 in the morning and… seeing what happens.
The mirrors should be set up on two chairs facing each other, while you yourself settle on a third chair placed between them. Your chair is your “throne,” making you the King; the mirrors are your Queen and your Fool, although you may know not which is which. It's also worth noting that, from the Queen and Fool's point of view, you're either their Queen or their Fool. The game is called The Three Kings, remember?
As for what the point of the ritual is? That's a little less clear. The idea is to access what FableForge calls “the Shadowside,” although why you would want to go there — or even just peek at it through a window — sort of depends on each individual. Personally, I think it functions kind of like hypnosis or meditation; you might learn something about yourself — something you may not have consciously thought before — while playing it. Just make sure that whatever you think you might learn during this game is really worth it. Some things, we're better off not knowing.
2. Tsuji-ura, or the Fortune Game
Tsuji-ura is said to have originated many, many years ago in Japan; however, there are similar games found in cultures all over the world. You might hear it called the Fortune Game, for example, or even Crossroads Divination — this last moniker, of course, referring to the location in which the game must take place: A crossroads. Crossroads, you see, have long been viewed not just as the space where two roads intersect, but also the space where two worlds intersect — our own world, and the world… beyond the veil, so to speak.
Tsuji-ura is a little less involved than some of the other games on this list, making it easier to play if you’re just dipping your toe into the ritualpasta waters. (It should be noted, though, that the stakes are still pretty high; they always are in these types of games.) All you have to do to play is find a comb and something to cover your face with, take them to a crossroad when it's dark out, strum the teeth of the comb a few times to make some noise, and chant “Tsuji-ura, Tsuji-ura, grant me a true response” three times. If a stranger approaches you, cover your face; then ask them to tell your fortune. If you’re lucky, they’ll accept — but don't push it if they refuse.
Fun fact: A “Tsuji-ura senbei” is a type of Japanese rice cracker that functions sort of like a fortune cookie. It's savory, rather than sweet, but the idea is quite similar.
3. The Doors of Your Mind
This game also goes by several names, depending on who you talk to, how old they are, and where they grew up. The version known as The Doors of Your Mind seems unique to Reddit, where it appeared in 2012; however, some folks remembering playing it under the name Black Door, White Door in the mid-1990s, while others recollect a version called Red Door, Yellow Door. No matter which version you play, though, it’s relatively low risk compared to a lot of other games and rituals: It’s basically a form of meditation, with the goal being simply to explore the contents of your own head. Visualizing the interior of your mind as a long corridor with many doors and rooms shooting off of it allows you to take your time walking through everything, potentially helping you sort out problems or maybe just allowing you to learn something about yourself.
Be warned, though: There could be some unpleasant or downright nasty things lurking in the location you conjure up. It's not unheard of for threatening personages to appear and lock you in one of the rooms — and getting locked in can sometimes… complicate things. Also know that you don't have to open every door; if you get a bad feeling from one, you might want to leave it shut.
You’ll need a friend to help you play this one; they’ll guide you through the process, as well as help you come back to the physical world if you encounter something dangerous in the world inside your mind.
Tread carefully.
4. The Dark Reflection Ritual
The object of The Dark Reflection Ritual is to boost your luck, although you might have to battle through a whole bunch of absolutely terrible luck in order to get there — and I'm talking some Final Destination-level stuff here.
You can perform this one either solo or as part of a group; to get it going, find a mirror, look your reflection in the eye for a few seconds while focusing on all your negative energy, breathe on the mirror til it fogs up, and then hold it to a burning flame until a black smudge appears on it. Lastly, smash the mirror — and get ready to be on your guard. Throughout the rest of the night, bad luck will apparently follow you, getting increasingly more dangerous as the hours go by.
If you survive until dawn, congratulations! It's said that your luck will magically become good, ensuring success in pretty much everything you do for an unspecified amount of time.
Is it worth it? I'm not sure. You'll have to find out for yourself — if you're feeling brave.
5. The Shoebox Telephone
Another one from the r/ThreeKings subreddit, where it was originally published in 2012, The Shoebox Telephone involves constructing a sort of astral telephone out of a shoebox, a string, and a paper cup. If prepared correctly, this telephone will allow you to 'make a call' to someone who might not be on our plane of existence anymore.
Like The Doors of Your Mind, The Shoebox Telephone is relatively low risk; however, be careful you don't dial a wrong number. It's not totally clear what happens if you do.. but you probably don't really want to find out.
6. The Midnight Game
I will freely admit that I have no earthly idea why anyone would actually want to play The Midnight Game. It sounds (theoretically, at least) extremely dangerous, and “winning” it doesn't seem to bestow any benefits on you. Maybe it's for the thrill of the whole thing? Or something? Allegedly it was used as a punishment for those who dared to transgress the laws of society during ancient times, but I suspect that's just a fiction tacked onto the story to make it freakier. It does, however, make use of a trope that can be encountered in different forms all over the world: That of the boogeyman — the monster whose name is involved in order to keep us in line.
This particular game is an all-night event. After you summon the Midnight Man to your place of residence via the sort of blood magic it's not generally recommended that anyone do (ever), you spend the rest of the evening moving about your house and trying to avoid him. What happens if he catches you? Well, depending on who you ask, he'll either trap you inside a hallucination of your worst fear for a few hours, or he'll rip out your innards.
If you make it through the game unscathed, though, don't assume you're safe from the Midnight Man forever. He might still be there, lurking in the shadows, waiting — just waiting — for the chance to visit you again.
7. The Gambler's Game
The prize for winning The Gambler's Game is the ability to win any gamble, no matter how slim the odds might be. But before you can seize that prize, you have to beat the Gambler at a different game first.
You get to choose the game for the challenge, which gives you something of an advantage over the Gambler right from the get-go — although for what it's worth, your opponent prefers Blackjack. If you choose his favorite game, maybe he'll go easy on you.. but maybe he won't. Whatever game you play, though, just don't try to cheat. The Gambler doesn't take kindly to cheating.
The ritual might look kind of goofy to anyone who doesn't know what's going on — essentially, it will seem like you're playing a card game with yourself — but just because you can't see your opponent doesn't mean he's not there.
Also, the cost of losing is steep. Just.. bear that in mind before you decide to play.
8. The Telephone Ritual
The Telephone Ritual, which hails from Japan, bears some similarities with The Shoebox Telephone; however, it uses both a mobile phone and a regular landline instead of a phone made out of a shoebox, and you don't get to pick who you call. It's also a heck of a lot more dangerous. Before you start, you'll have to make sure you're alone in the house; don't try to play with anyone else home. Also, make sure you're comfortable with hanging out in your bathroom and staring into the depths of your toilet for an extended amount of time. (Yes, really.)
When you're ready to play, first, turn off all the lights in your home and lay down a line of salt outside the bathroom door. (According to some magic practitioners, salt can be an effective tool for protecting yourself from negative energy.) Then grab your phone and a flashlight, lock yourself in the bathroom, and use your mobile phone to call your home number. Doing so might result in… well.. something picking up the other end. If that happens, hang up immediately. If you see a change in the surface of the toilet bowl water or hear a noise from somewhere inside your house, hang up immediately.
Actually, you know what? Just don't try to make that call in the first place. It's probably safer for everyone.
9. The Answer Man
Too freaked out to try one of these games on your own? The Answer Man requires 10 players, so maybe there's safety in numbers. Gather everyone together into a circle; then have all players take out their phones and call the person to their left, making sure you all hit “send” at the same time. Most of you will probably get a busy signal… but it's possible that one person might get through to the Answer Man.
Whoever gets through to the Answer Man can ask whatever questions they want of him — but know that for every question you ask, he'll get to ask one in return. His questions aren't always easy to answer, but you must answer them truthfully and accurately. If doesn't like your answer, you're going to have a bad time, so make sure you're fully prepared before playing.
You might want to use inexpensive burner or pay-as-you-go phones to play this one, by the way. If you manage to get in touch with the Answer Man, you'll need to destroy the phone you used to talk to him afterwards.
Otherwise he might be able to reach out to you whenever he wants.
10. One-Person Hide and Seek
I feel the same way about One-Person Hide and Seek as I do about The Midnight Game — namely, I cannot figure out why on earth you'd even play it. But again, I suspect a lot of it has to do with thrill-seeking, so if that's your thing, then go forth (carefully).
Initially, one looks at gambling as a way to run away from life's problems, or from stress, anger, and loneliness. Over time, it becomes a habit, and eventually an obsession that can't be overcome. The addiction has negative effects on one's physical and mental health. Gambling and its effects on society. Jan 28, 2019 As gambling has only recently been identified as a growing societal trend, research into its causes and effects have not been extensively studied.

Known in Japan as Hitori Kakurenbo, this one first involves preparing a doll or stuffed animal to be your opponent. Once you've created your opponent and put a few precautions in place, it's the doll's turn to hide, while it's your turn to seek. After you find the doll, though, the roles are reversed — and you do not, under any circumstances, want to let the doll find you. If you successfully avoid it, you'll have to go find it again yourself to end the game — but be warned: You may not find it where you left it.
While we're at it, here's how a grown-ass woman uses 'Charlie Charlie' to make all her decisions:
Bustle on YouTube

We’re always hearing that we could be having better sex, a better orgasm, or a better relationship. But how often do we hear the nitty-gritty of how we can actually better understand our deepest desires and most embarrassing questions? Bustle has enlisted Vanessa Marin, a sex therapist, to help us out with the details. No gender, sexual orientation, or question is off limits, and all questions remain anonymous. Now, onto today's topic: example sexting games to play.
Q: “My partner and I are in a long-distance relationship, and only get to see each other once a month or so. We have a lot of fun when we do see each other, but we’re looking for ways to keep the spark alive when we have to be apart. I really like sexting him. We’re both a little shy (him more so than me), so sexting feels way more comfortable than having to say things out loud. We’ve done the very basic stuff, and now I’d like to surprise him with something different. Do you have any ideas for sexting games we could play, plus ways to get him to respond? I don’t want to get left hanging and feel embarrassed!”
A: Thanks for the question! It can be really hard to keep the fires burning in a long-distance relationship, so I commend you and your partner for making an active effort to stay connected. Here are 14 sexting games to play with your partner, whether you're long-distance or not.
1. Would You Rather?
You’re probably already familiar with this classic game. You can put a sexy twist on it by making all of the questions sex-related. For example, “would you rather have me kiss your neck or your ear?” You can keep the questions relatively tame at the beginning, especially if your partner’s quite shy. Then slowly work up to making them more graphic. This game is also a great way to get to know your partner and their sexual likes and dislikes! Club regent casino.
2. Remember When?
This is a great game to play after you and your partner have just ended a recent visit. If you had a particularly steamy sex session, you can rehash all of the details together over text. Again, start simple if your partner is shy. “Remember when I was just sitting in your living room and you came in and gave me that little smile?” If your partner doesn’t respond right away, keep going. “And then remember when I told you to come over and sit next to me?” If you’re still not getting a bite, ask, “what happened next?” Trust me, your partner won’t mind that you’re asking them to “remember” something that just happened!
3. Choose Your Own Adventure
This is a really adaptable game that’s similar to Would You Rather. Text your partner a series of options that you could do in that moment, and ask them to pick which one they would like best. For example, you could send, “I’m sitting here at home alone, thinking of you. I could either scroll through some of the pictures you sent me, take a shower, or try to distract myself. What should I do?” Once they’ve made their decision, send them a few more options that would unfold after the first step. For example, “Look at the pictures of you, OK! I could either stay here in the living room, go into the bedroom, or go out onto the balcony. What should I do?”
4. Plan Our Next Adventure
This is a small but exciting variation of Choose Your Own Adventure. In this version, have all of your options be things that the two of you could do the next time you see each other. For example, “You’re going to get in at nine at night. We could either get really dressed up and go out to dinner, take a quick shower together, or go straight into the bedroom. What do you pick?” You can either take turns giving options and making decisions, or have your partner plan out the entire date. Make sure to follow through the next time you see each other!
5. The Treasure Hunt
The next time you’re at your partner’s house, leave something sexy behind, like a pair of underwear you wore when you were together, a new lingerie set they’ve never seen you in, or even a sex toy. Once you’re gone, text your partner that you left something special for them to find. You can give your partner clues if you feel nice, or let them figure it out on their own.
6. Sexting Co-Authors
This is a good game to play with partners who might feel a bit shy about discussing your personal sex life over text. Tell your partner you want to write a story together, where you take turns coming up with sentences. You can start the story off innocently enough, but slowly start to make it more sexual. You can play this game for weeks, or even months!
7. Book Club
If you or your partner are too shy to write your own erotica (or have writer’s block in the moment), you can read other people’s erotica instead. When you know your partner has some free time, send a link to an erotica website. Ask your partner to read it at the same time you’re reading it. Copy and paste the specific sentences that you really like, or discuss your favorite scenes. You can also do this with porn.
8. Guess What I’m Wearing
Text your partner and ask them to guess something about your clothing. You can ask them to guess the specific underwear you’re wearing or the color. If they guess correctly, send them a picture of you wearing the item. (You can show just a snippet of the fabric if you don’t want to get too graphic.)
9. King For A Day
In this game, one person gets to be King For A Day, and tell the other person exactly what to do. If you and your partner like a bit of the Domination/submission dynamic, you can have one partner choose every single daily activity and decision. Take turns the next day if you want.
10. Sext Brainstorming
Whenever you stumble across an intriguing-sounding sex tip online, like an idea for a new sex position or an oral sex technique, send the link over to your partner. Send a little message like, “thinking about the two of us doing this together” or, “would you want to try this?” This is a great game for people who don’t feel that creative on their own.
11. Sext Shopping
Similarly, you can also send your partner links to sex-related items you’d like to buy, like lingerie, sex toys, or accessories. You can send a cheeky message like, “just a little hint for my upcoming birthday.” Or try sending over a couple of links, and sending the message, “I got you one of these things. You’ll have to wait and see which one I picked.”
12. The Sex Bucket List
Together, come up with specific sexual experiences that you want to share together. You can add things like, “have sex while camping,” “have multiple orgasms,” or “have a threesome.” Create a shared Google Document, and set it to notify the other person when one of you makes a change.

13. Orgasm Race
When you know your partner is home alone, send them a message asking if they would like to have a have a masturbation race. See who can get to the finish line first. No cheating!
14. Close-Distance Sexting
I added this game to help you and your partner remember that you can keep up the sexting even when you are together! On your next visit, go into a different room, then start sexting your partner. See who can hold out the longest before going and seeking out the other person.
