The video in which two groups are playing the game was first posted online by a TikTok user @woodyandkleinyl. It has since been posted across social media platforms. On Twitter, this video has gathered over 3.4 million views.
Commenting on it, a Twitter user wrote, “They’ve been drinking right? I’m just going to assume because there were way too many misses 😂”.
Another Twitter user tried to express the trick of the game and wrote, “See the thing is… if you’ve done this before.. you start off with soft swings to get the nail set into the surface. Once you’re an inch or so down (depending on the nail length) is when you can start monkey swinging at it. Unless you’re super skilled. (They ain’t.)”.
