Order these TikTok trends, dances and sounds by the month they went viral. You place all 32 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
This deck is made of TikTok dances, sounds, memes and recipes, and you sort them by the month each one went viral. Under every trend's name is a short line about it, often the creator, the song or what people were actually doing on camera. To start, one trend sits on the timeline showing its month and year, in a short form like Jun 2019. Choose a gap for each card that follows. When you're right, the month and year appear next to it; when you're wrong, the card still settles into its real place and you give up one of your three lives.
Here you'll find the app's early lip-sync clips, the lockdown boom, sea shanties, sketch songs and the strange end-of-the-world chatter of recent feeds. Because the unit is a month, neighboring trends can sit very close, and a few even share one. The line under each title is worth reading for the song or creator it names, since an artist's breakout moment can anchor a guess. Trends that kept getting reposted long after they peaked are the ones that fool people most.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in the month it happened, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
Here are 28 of the 32 cards you might be dealt, with 4 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
