I was wondering if anybody did the "Charlie Charlie Challenge" already?

Everybody in my class is talking about it and apperently some guys even did do it and since you can see so many Videos of that stuff Im super duper curious.
Kinda wanna do it but 2 scared
(its probably a prank but yknow still to b safe)  

Charlie Charlie will OG ever be brave enough to spar me?  

What is that?  

You put a paper, divide it into 4 boxes, write Yes in top left and bottom right, no in top right and bottom left. Put 2 pencils or pen on top of each other forming a cross in the lines. Ask questions by starting Charlie Charlie, then that bad omen will move the pencil to the answer of his own.

It's just gravity, It's a prank. Not a real 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.

What’s actually moving the pencils?

Gravity, and the awkward positioning of some pencils. They just wouldn't sit still even if you wanted them to.

It’s perhaps scarier than a Ouija board because it doesn’t have the same explanations. With those boards, players have to keep hold of a glass while it moves around the table — so it’s not difficult to imagine that people might be pushing it around without knowing it.

With the Charlie Charlie game, however, nobody is actually touching the pencils. But they are still likely being pushed — the pencils have to be so finely balanced on top of each other that even the slightest movement from a breath or slightly tilted surface will push it around.

Why does scary stuff happen afterwards?

Afterwards, some have reported strange goings on. Those seem especially scary if people don’t chant the important words “Charlie, Charlie, can we stop?” and say goodbye when the demon says yes.


It’s possible that strange things are happening. But it’s equally likely that after playing the game the brain gets itself into a state that makes it extra suggestible and fearful.

That’s the same thing that makes people more likely to hear strange noises when they’re on their own or in the dark. In both of those situations, people are genuinely more in danger — so the brain think itself into a special fight or flight state that makes it extra-vigilant to noises, so that those dangers can be avoided.

did u try it yet tho  

I tried it once ahaaa we managed to balance the pencils perfectly and then when we asked our question the pencil moved... I was so confused because I had no idea what Charlie Charlie was. All my friends were getting worried because they knew about it. Eventually the pencils fell off the table and it was only due to the unbalancing of the pencils nothing else! IT'S A LIE!

No need to try it since its fake. I've done this without the paper, cause When im bored drawing I do this most of my time.  

Can someone post a video on it?  

I think that's the original or video that went viral first.

 

If you do it you summon a mexican demon the chart is based on a custom made Ouija board which is used back in the old days by mexicans.

Should probably avoid that word when you move to the US.
