Lick peanut butter or some other kind of spread off someone’s cheek. Close your eyes and let another player feed you one spoonful of anything in the fridge. Go skinny dipping in a pool or streak around the house. Let one person spank you as hard as they want to, on your butt.
Popular use[edit]
BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Scott Mills makes regular use of texting as a form of entertainment. In an early form of the game in 2007, he encouraged listeners to send 'I love you' messages to a contact at random.[1]
In the last episode of Series 3 of Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners, the four main characters play text roulette with each other's phones.
Demographics of users[edit]
In 2010, a United Kingdom survey of people aged 13 to 16 found that one in five had played a variation of the game in which the message must be obscene. A similar proportion had sent texts to previously unknown mobile numbers typed in at random, asking for the recipient to reply. Motivations included loneliness, 'fun' and boredom, while 9% admitted being 'dared' to do it. Of those who had played text roulette, one in three admitted to being in trouble from the recipient.[2]
Dangers[edit]
Neil McHugh, who had commissioned the survey, said it showed that young people did not realize the dangers of texting unknown numbers.[3]
A writer for business organisation ICAEW commented that text roulette is a modern variation on an old pattern, i.e. young people finding ways to irritate adults by doing what is forbidden, but raises concerns about child safety.[4]
In October 2010, Textslide debuted as an application that enables people to easily and safely engage in SMS conversations with strangers.[5]
