New viral chicken game has TikTok users screaming – here’s why

TikTok’s ‘Scream Chicken’ game might become loud during its playtime, but many participants are going viral for enjoying the comical filter.

A filter game called Scream Chicken is the newest fad going around TikTok, with users getting millions of views when showing themselves playing it.

If you’ve been on TikTok recently, you might have seen videos of people screaming at a chicken on their phones.

No, people have not gone crazy, it’s simply part of a new filter game on TikTok that has gone viral called Scream Chicken.

TikTok users scream at phones for new game

The game uses the microphone and makes the chicken walk or jump through the course depending on the volume of sounds it picks up from the microphone.

If you speak in a low voice, the chicken will slowly walk on the course and pass some scary traps, but if you raise your voice, or scream at the chicken, it will jump.

However, to make it more entertaining, users have been screaming out chicken noises in various volumes to make the chicken move instead of talking – and it’s been working as over 508,700 videos have been made using the filter.

User cocottee_ filmed herself playing the game while making chicken noises and managed to get over 65.2 million views in just two days.
