Whamageddon is a game played during the 24 days before Christmas in which players try to go from 1 December to the end of Christmas Eve (24 December) without hearing the record "Last Christmas" by British pop duo Wham!. Based on the Little Drummer Boy Challenge from the mid-1990s, if the player hears the record between those days, they are out of the game and have to post "#Whamageddon" on social media to indicate that they have lost. Hearing other recordings of "Last Christmas" does not constitute a loss.
Whamageddon is described as a survival game, as opposed to a battle royale game. Intentionally attempting to force participants to lose by playing the song in their presence or sending them the song (in the same manner as rickrolling) is strongly discouraged but not against the rules of the game.
