TikToker accuses company of \u201cripping off\u201d his board game after it went viral TikTok: Lightsoutboi, TwistedboardgameA TikTok businessman by the name of Lightsoutboi is calling out another company on the platform for \u201cripping off\u201d his board game idea. With the popularity of TikTok, which has over one billion users monthly, it makes sense for companies to use the platform to grow their business. Businesses on TikTok are often small, one person start-ups with little to no protection from bad actors looking to copy their idea. This is the case for Lightsoutboi, who went viral after releasing his party board game \u2018Lights Out,\u2019 and he\u2019s now calling out another TikTok account for \u201cripping off\u201d his idea. TikToker calls out company for \u201cripping off\u201d viral board game Uploaded on August 23, Lightsoutboi called out the two TikTokers running the account Twistedboardgame, who he claims completely ripped off his idea just months after Lights Out went viral. \u201cI know they copied me because they were smart enough to sign up to my email list with their name and address back in February,\u201d he explained. He went on to explain that they\u2019re even copying his videos word for word and shows examples of his claim in his upload. \u201cI understand imitation is the finest form of flattery, but at least don\u2019t make your game look like a middle schooler made it in Microsoft Word,\u201d he added. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have cared if they reached out to me first and I\u2019m not one for drama, but this one is just too funny to pass up\u201d Twistedboardgame responds to accusations Just a day after Lightsoutboi uploaded his video, Twistedboardgame responded with a video of their own. In their response, they mention that the videos claimed to have been copied from the Lights out creator were actually uploaded to TikTok before his. \u201cYou weren\u2019t the first person to create a party board game, they have literally been around forever. The only original thing about your board game is the QR code mini-games that we don\u2019t even have,\u201d he explained.
