About
The Green Glass Door Game is a riddle game where one person tells another or a group of people that there is a green glass door that some things can pass through and others cannot, giving a few examples of things that can pass and things that can't, then allowing the other player(s) to ask if specific things can pass or not in an attempt to learn what can and can't go through the door. The answer to the riddle is that any words that have double letters, such as "green," "glass" and "door" can pass and words that do not can't. The game has been shared online since as early as 1999 and went viral on TikTok in November 2022 after a user played the game with her boyfriend.
Origin
The earliest known website to share the Green Glass Door riddle was posted to Riddles.com[1] on November 30th, 1999. The riddle was shared numerous times throughout the 2000s on other websites, some of which spread it as a game to play with a friend or group of friends who don't know the answer to the riddle, including The Game Gal.[2] Although it was played on TikTok prior to 2022, the game first started going viral on the platform between April and August 2022, with an early popular example posted by TikToker[6] @maxwell.229 on April 29th, 2022, gaining over 568,000 views in seven months (shown below).
