Rawdog Simulator leaves players baffled as \u201cweird\u201d flight trend becomes a game TikTok: rawdogsimulatorAfter \u201craw-dogging\u201d flights went viral on TikTok, Rawdog Airlines created a simulation experience where players can rawdog a long flight without having to leave the comfort of their home. In June, TikTokers went viral for \u201craw-dogging\u201d their flights. To do so, passengers stare at the back of the seat in front of them and ditch their accessories, meals, and any other distractions. Some participants have even intentionally gone over 10 hours without food, water, sleep, and music during their flights. After raw-dogging took the internet by storm, a game was created by Rawdog Airlines where a simulator takes players through an online flight experience. To play, participants can create a username and enter their fake airline credentials such as flight time and destination. The simulator then takes players through the terminal and onto an airplane where other passengers await. You are even able to choose any seat that\u2019s available on the flight. As the game begins, a message will appear on your device: \u201cEngines warming up\u2026 Eye tracker booting \u2026 Locking in (please accept camera permissions, focus on the screen and wait for a lock).\u201d The purpose of the game is to keep your gaze focused for the longest amount of time. At the end of the game, the top 10 competitors are shown on the leaderboard with the amount of time they were able to stare at the simulator. \u201cWhere your eyes move away from the screen, our gaze tracking technology (delivered through the built-in camera on a participant\u2019s smartphone, tablet or other computer device) will detect this and accordingly stop the Game\u2019s timer on our Website,\u201d Rawdog Airlines explained on their homepage. The Rawdog Simulator game does not cost any real money. However, there is a fake travel expense checklist that pops up on the screen before takeoff (and accepting the terms and conditions, of course). After news about the simulation game went viral, plenty of gaming enthusiasts weighed in with their disapproval. \u201cThe game where you win by doing absolutely nothing. Just stare at a virtual seat back for hours. It\u2019s like real air travel, minus the tiny pretzels and crying babies. Perfect for those who find actual gaming too exciting,\u201d wrote one on X. \u201cThis is just \u2026\u2026.. something,\u201d added another. Though some also shamed players for being \u201cbored\u201d enough to play the \u201cweird\u201d game, it\u2019s only a matter of time until it goes as viral as the real raw-dogging experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
