The red flag green flag game, with 20 questions
In the red flag green flag game, someone reads a habit or a choice, and everyone calls it a red flag (a warning sign) or a green flag (a good sign). Then you argue about it. It is quick, funny and works with any group.
Where the trend came from
Calling something a red flag means it is a warning, like a red flag on a beach. Around 2021 TikTok started using red flag and green flag for habits in friends and dating. It quickly spread to everything, from snacks to video game choices.
