Needs wholesome family-fun prank to bond with your kids this year? Look no further than Whamageddon! The game is pretty simple, just try to avoiding hearing the song "Last Christmas" by popular '80s duo Wham! until Christmas Eve and you win! (Here's an entire site with more thorough instructions.) It's a game of survival. And you can't just go up to your opponent and press play off of your phone and shove the song into their ear. You have to get way more creative than that. For example, after this mom got "whammed" by her daughter this year, she sneakily went into her daughter's phone, and changed all of her downloaded songs to actually be the infamous "Last Christmas." So when she goes in to listen to what she thinks is Taylor Swift or something, WHAM!, tricked ya, it's actually "Last Christmas." It seems to be a roaring great time for the families who participate in Whamageddon and they have no shame in coming up with ways to send their parents or children to "Whamhalla." If you and your family choose to play this year, we wish you luck!

    On the first day of December someone had blasted the song on the school yard Whaming everyone, so she decided to make me ride joyously into Whamhalla with her and simply put it on right next to me, the adorable little gremlin of a child she is.

    Well, never underestimate the pettiness of someone with three times worth of your life experience. She has an old- fashioned phone and mostly listens to music saved on an SD card. Today I took her phone with the excuse of adding on it some songs she's been asking for.

    Tomorrow, everything is going to look the same as before, only with a couple of new songs added. Except every single one of those songs, old and new, is Last Christmas. Torn by Ava Max? Last Christmas. Faded by Alan Walker? Last Christmas. Arcade by Duncan Lawrence? Last Christmas.

    U sutheglamcat 18 hr. ago My daughter has claimed that surviving Whamageddon is too easy, so she's added a new level: Careyclysm (same rules, but for Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You").

    If it weren't for the fun of playing along with my kids, I'd be so tempted to get her with both tomorrow. (I will almost certainly be out next Friday at my work Christmas party, either way.)

    rebekahster 15 hr. ago It is 11:30 am on the 1st Dec here, and I lost Whamageddon an hour ago in the supermarket. I managed to get all the way to Xmas eve last year. This year, to save me from tears, I'll play it for someone special (and make them lose too)

    listen to that song in repeat with Faith hill "There you'll be". He got fed up so he changed the songs and changed the name to Bob the builder " can we fix it". We still laugh about now, especially when we found the old cd. Lol
