How it works
Keep the action simple
If it takes more than a sentence to explain, fewer people will join.
Make it safe
No stunts, risky dares or anything that could hurt someone. TikTok removes dangerous challenges.
Go first
Post your own entry with the hashtag and invite 3–5 creators in your niche to try it.
