'Machhli, Paani Me Gai, Chapaak': This Viral Game Demands All Your Attention and Laughter

Tired of the usual Uno, Monopoly, Antakshari, and Dumb Charades during your group chitchat sessions? Well, look no further because the internet has birthed a new sensation that’s spreading like wildfire, and it’s not only hilarious but also downright intriguing, demanding your full attention with fits of laughter. Hold on, what more could you possibly want?

Shared on Instagram by a user @maan_na.maan, this viral sensation kicks off like any other ordinary reel, initially hinting at the clichéd notion that ‘She’ might believe ‘He’ is cheating by not being there for her. Meanwhile, ‘He’ slyly signals his allegiance to his ‘boys’ and engages in what initially seems like a casual time-pass game. Well, it is, but the game is exceptionally amusing and definitely worth decoding.

It involves a group of friends forming a circle, where one person starts with a phrase, “1 Machhli” (1 fish). The next person follows with an action, exclaiming, “Paani me gayi” (it went into the water), while the third continues with a clap and shouts, “Chapaak” (splash). Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The fourth person restarts with the next number, “2 Machhli,” and the sequence continues with the fifth and the first doing “Paani me gayi” and the second and third following with “Chapaak.” This cycle repeats, and the catch is that whoever messes up the count is out!

“Shouldn’t the guy in the beanie be the first one out of the game? I said 5 machli for the 6th time ??? I am so confused ” exclaimed one user. Another confessed, “Why am I watching this for 3 hours expecting a different result every time?” A third chimed in, “The game looks so stressful.”

Even Tinder joined the fun, remarking, “mere saare talking stages bhi paani mein gaye, chhapak (My entire talking stages also went into the water, chhapak.” YouTube Creators India threw in its two cents, saying, “creators, please end your video with ek machhli and start a chain in the comments.”
