The Concentrate Game is a spooky urban legend, like Bloody Mary or the Cat Scratch Game. During the game, a “victim” listens to a hypnotic rhyme spoken by a narrator and, as they listen, their mind starts to play tricks on them. It’s said that the end of the game predicts how the victim will eventually die (oohOOhoo) ! We’ll show you how to play the Concentrate Game, fill you in on what’s supposed to happen, and reveal if it’s all for real.

Grab a partner and tell them to close their eyes. The Concentrate Game is only played with 2 people. One person does the talking, and the other is the victim, who just listens. Grab a friend and have them turn around and close their eyes. [1] X Research source Stand behind them and position them in front of something soft (like a bed or a pile of cushions) but don’t tell them why.
- It also helps if you turn out the lights, and play this game after dark.
- Other people can be in the room for the game, but nobody can speak but the person reciting the lines.
-
Recite the ritual’s chorus while pounding the person’s back lightly. The Concentrate Game works like a song. There are verses and a chorus you repeat after every verse. Start with the chorus, and while you recite it in a sing-song voice, make both your hands into fists and pound the victim’s back lightly. The chorus goes like this: [2] X Research source
- Concentrate. Concentrate. Concentrate on what I’m saying. People are dying. Children are crying. Concentrate. Concentrate. Concentrate on what I’m saying.

Say the first verse while tapping on the victim’s head. While you recite the second verse, tap 3 times on the victim’s head with your fist, then run the fingers of both your hands down either side of their head, like pretending you’re cracking an egg. Remember to go back to the chorus afterward! The first verse goes like this: [3] X Research source
- Crack an egg on your head. Let the yolk run down. Let the yolk run down. Crack an egg on your head. Let the yolk run down. Let the yolk run down.
- Repeat the chorus before moving to the next verse.
-
Recite the second verse while squeezing the victim’s shoulders. This time, squeeze and twist their shoulders with your hands, like you’re squeezing oranges, then graze your fingers down both their arms, as you recite the second verse, which goes like this: [4] X Research source
- Squeeze an orange on your shoulder. Let the juice drip down. Let the juice drip down. Squeeze an orange on your shoulder. Let the juice drip down. Let the juice drip down.
- Repeat the chorus before moving to the next verse.
-
Say the third verse while poking their sides. Use your pointer finger to lightly jab the victim’s sides, as though you’re poking them with a needle, then run your fingers down to their waist while you say the third verse, which goes like this:
- Stick a needle in your sides. Let the blood drip down. Let the blood drip down. Stick a needle in your sides. Let the blood drip down. Let the blood drip down.
- Repeat the chorus before moving to the next verse.
-
Say the fourth verse while lightly pounding their back. Now, as you recite the fourth verse, lightly tap the victim’s back with your fists, like you do during the chorus, which is supposed to feel a bit like being stabbed. This time, though, trickle your fingers down their back, too.
- Stab a knife in your back. Let the blood drip down. Let the blood drip down. Stab a knife in your back. Let the blood drip down. Let the blood drip down.
- Repeat the chorus before moving to the next verse.
-
Recite the fifth verse while pretending to lay a rope around their neck. Hold your imaginary rope and circle your hand around their head. Once you shout the word “Pull!” in the fifth verse, yank your fist upward.
- Wrap a rope around your neck. Wrap it till it’s tight. Wrap it till it’s tight. Wrap a rope around your neck. And… PULL!
- Repeat the chorus before moving to the next verse.
-
Whisper the last verse in the victim’s ears while swaying them in place. Gently hold the victim’s arms and lightly push them left to right as though they’re swaying in the wind. As you do, whisper the final verse. Once you reach the last words, push them forward with your hands onto a bed or a pile of cushions. [5] X Research source
- You’re standing on a building. You’re out on the ledge. You’re feeling very dizzy. And you’re close to the edge. And someone… PUSHES YOU!
-
Ask the victim what color they saw to reveal how they’ll die. It’s said that when you push the victim to their pretend death, a color will flash behind their closed eyes. People say that the color you see foretells how you die. Ask the victim what color they saw, then declare their cause of death:
- Red: Stabbing
- Blue: Drowning
- Yellow: Poisoning
- Orange: Burning
- Green: Falling (onto grass)
- Purple: Suffocating
- Brown: Buried alive
- Gray: Illness
- Black: Old age, and sent to hell.
- White: Old age, and sent to heaven.
