About

Accent Challenge is a social game in which TikTokers read off various words to show off their accent. Though the similar "accent tag" YouTube trend began in 2010, the Accent Challenge began in 2018 and gained increased popularity in late June 2020 when TikTokers began making parodies of the original challenge by reading off the words in a comical way.
