Brace yourself for the ultimate Christmas challenge – Whamageddon! This festive endurance test pits players against the ubiquitous earworm that is Wham!'s "Last Christmas". From December 1st to Christmas Eve, December 24th, brave participants embark on a perilous quest to evade the song's infectious melody. Each tick of the clock brings them closer to the dreaded moment of exposure, where the song's familiar chimes signal their elimination from the game.
However, fear not, for there are loopholes to exploit. Players can indulge in remixes and cover versions of the song, momentarily escaping the oppressive grip of the original. While not officially encouraged, a devious twist allows players to strategically eliminate their opponents by playing or sending them the song themselves. This adds an element of suspense and betrayal to the already nerve-wracking game.
So, if you're looking for a Christmas challenge that will test your willpower and leave you questioning the ubiquity of Christmas music, then Whamageddon is the ultimate test for you. Strap in, stay alert, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
