# Pass The Phone Challenge Pass The Phone Challenge / Passing The Phone To is a TikTok game where friends roast each other by saying 'I'm passing the phone to' and then exposing something embarrassing about the next person. Starting with @morganroyyy's cheerleading squad video in late February 2021, the game spread through March via Griffin Johnson and other Sway House TikTokers. By June 2021, Memphis public health officials used the same setup on YouTube to pitch COVID-19 vaccinations. ## Origin The earliest known Pass The Phone Challenge video was posted on February 28th, 2021, by TikToker @morganroyyy, who filmed herself passing the phone around her cheerleading squad[3]. That clip drew more than 671,000 views over four months. The original creator of the game is unconfirmed, and no earlier version of the setup has been documented[5]. - **Platform:** TikTok - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2021 ## Overview Each round opens with a creator saying 'I'm passing the phone to the person who...' and then a jab about a friend's habit, flaw or embarrassing trait[1]. The phone physically moves to that person, who repeats the setup with an insult aimed at someone else, and the chain keeps going until the group runs out of participants[2]. Targets do not hear what was said about them until the clip is posted, so each roast lands as a surprise reveal when friends watch it back[1]. Groups play with roommates, siblings and cheer squads, and jabs range from affectionate ('the sibling I think is the funniest') to raunchy comments about hygiene or dating habits[2]. Married TikTokers Gus Ferrat and Rae Rockhold ran a version where they traded jabs about laziness and early balding, showing how couples adapted the game as a joint confessional[2]. ## How to Use Players typically film in a group with one phone passed hand to hand. Each turn opens with 'I'm passing the phone to the person who...' and ends with the camera handed to the targeted friend[1]. A common convention is to film without letting the next person hear the roast before the hand-off, so the finished edit reveals each jab to its target only on playback[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Pass The Phone Challenge?
