Some of you might remember the short horror film from 2011 called Take This Lollipop. One of the greatest horror movies of all time, the movie reflected a subtle message about how freely we have been giving away our privacy to the internet.

At present, after 11 years the scenario is even worse. Take This Lollipop now has even deeper meanings, as privacy in 2022 has become a myth.

What is Take This Lollipop Game

Take This Lollipop is a social media-based game that uses your webcam to give users an interface that is similar to a Zoom call. It isn’t linked to Zoom in any way. Users aren’t actually on any zoom call users don’t even need to install or have the zoom app on their devices to play the game.

However, the game uses an interface similar to zoom calls because most of us have been using these video conferencing apps to attend meetings or classes for the past two years. Users will be on a zoom call along with 3 other participants but things aren’t as normal as it seems.

Take This Lollipop game uses a pre-recorded virtual horror scene to give you another horror experience that will break the fourth wall.

The game is not only designed for entertainment purposes but also to give lessons as to how vulnerable we are to the ongoing deep fakes, voice/ text AI and identity thefts. The game also uses AI to create deep fakes and the video from your webcam to put words in your mouth without you even speaking them.

The main motto of the game is to show how easy it is to deepfakes videos in this modern era. Not only that, but the developers also show how difficult it has become to distinguish between the truth and the deep fakes on the internet.
