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.
