John Pork game: answer the call, or don't

John Pork is a made-up man with a pig's head who calls you. In the 2023 TikTok meme, your screen shows an incoming call from John Pork, and the caption says you should pick up. That simple setup is a great base for a spooky, funny phone-call game.

Who John Pork is

The character is an edited picture of a man with a realistic pig head, presented as an online influencer. Some sources trace him back to Instagram around 2018. The calling meme arrived in March 2023, when TikTok posts showed a fake incoming call screen with his face and a ringtone. It spread into "John Pork is calling" edits, songs and comment jokes.

Later he joined the brainrot crowd. The Roblox game Steal a Brainrot added John Pork as an OG brainrot, with its own event named after the calling meme.

The call game, one ring at a time

Ring one. The phone buzzes. Answer, decline or put it face down. Each choice changes the night.
Missed calls. Ignore him and the calls pile up. Soon the ringtone is coming from inside the house.
Voicemail clues. Each message hints where he will call from next.
Strange contacts. Friends call too. Some of them are really John Pork with a new name.
The last call. The final call has to be answered. What he says depends on every choice you made.
