Head Shake Hot Chicken | Webcam Party Game Shake & Ditch the Countdown Chicken
The chicken starts in its nest at the top of the screen, then flies onto a real person's head and starts a 10-second egg countdown. Shake your head and body hard to throw it off and pass it to someone else — if the countdown ends before you shake it off, an egg cracks on your head and you're out. Last one standing wins.

About the Head Shake Hot Chicken
Head Shake Hot Chicken is a multiplayer motion game developed by SwayJoy and offered to players completely free of charge. It is a fun webcam party game. Shake your head and body to pass off the chicken, escape the cracking egg, and be the last one standing. It takes at least two players to play, and up to six can join a round.

How You Win or Lose
The chicken perches on top of a player's head. If that player cannot shake it away within 10 seconds, the hen lays an egg right on that player's head and the player is eliminated from the game. This counts as a loss. The round keeps going until only one player remains inside the camera frame. That last player wins and gets to enjoy a delicious roast chicken.
Tips for Staying in the Game
Learning how to avoid being knocked out is an art in itself.
Chase the hen away before she does something awful
Tip number one: shake with big movements. Swing your whole body while you try to get rid of the chicken, instead of only shaking your head. The wider you move, the sooner she flies off to bother someone else.
Save your strength
If every player learns how to get rid of the hen, the round simply keeps going, until somebody cannot shake anymore. That somebody has usually laughed too much to keep going.
