THE CHOKING GAME
This activity is not a Game! It's a traditional activity passed on for generations through whispers of typically 9-14 year
old children on playgrounds, at school, camp, and from friends. The Choking Game is played in both in groups and by
a single child.
The object of the 'game' is asphyxiation, as in, to apply pressure to restrict oxygen and/or blood flow to
the brain of the victim therefore creating a desired 'floaty', 'tingling', 'high' sensation. The 'high' are the cells of the brain
seizing and beginning the process of permanent cell death. When the victim becomes unconscious, the pressure is
released and the secondary 'high' of the oxygen/blood rushing to the brain is achieved. If the victim is alone - upon
unconsciousness there is no one to release the pressure and the victims own body weight continues to tighten the
ligature usually resulting in death.
