As the Coronavirus pandemic has caged all of us in our homes, we’ve taken to social media even more to connect to the rest of the world and tide the ever-increasing boredom as the days go by.
This has birthed a new wave of quizzes and challenges on Instagram stories being done by what seems my entire band of followers.
And well, 39 days into Circuit Breaker, these creative and fun Instagram filters may be a small antidote to get you through the last stretch of quarantine.
1. Guess The Gibberish Challenge
While the words are seemingly jumbled up and make no sense at first, those short random string of words are actually common phrases we use and hear every now and then.
It’s fun to try to decipher the phrases, and even more fun seeing your friends stumble upon the words. Give it a try, and you’ll be smacking your head a couple of times when you realise what the phrase was after failing miserably.
2. Draw In 5 Seconds
The concept is simple – you are given something draw and only 5 seconds to do it.
The catch? You’ll have to draw with your nose. It’s incredibly hilarious and silly but all in good fun and a great way to get a few laughs on a very dry day.
3. Which Cartoon Character Are You?
There are tons of variation to this filter, and everyone loves to do each and everyone of them. From Disney characters to Pokémon, the filter randomly generates a character for you after a few seconds.
Maybe you’re the ever-elegant Elsa or the self-absorbed Gaston, well, this quiz will delve into the deepest, darkest part of your soul to tell you who you truly are.
Okay, it won’t, but it’s still fun!
4. What Font Are You?
Are you the kid in the room like Comic Sans, or a Professor always typing papers in New Times Roman? Maybe you’re a nice balance of Calibri.
This quiz will help you figure out what your true inner font is.
5. Bingo
The Instagram Bingo Challenge isn’t a “filter” per se, but it’s been making the rounds on IG for sure.
From circling your favourite (and tasted) bubble teas to a bingo board all about your MBTI type, it was an easy and fun way to past your time. Tag your friends afterwards and see if any of them manage to get bingos!
