Rather than logging onto Chatroulette and being greeted with another person to have a video chat with, [Realm Pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walmart-realm) turned the chatroom into a [video game-inspired first-person adventure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratch-earth).

The Real Life First-Person Shooter turned people on Chatroulette into the stars of their own video games, with challenges and monsters to battle with smart choices. In order to begin the experience, all a user had to do was type "start." From there, they could give [commands with their voice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-controller) in order to dictate the action on the other side.

As the experience unravels, participants are taken outside and through what seems like a mansion, which reveals what an elaborate setup the entire stunt is. Finally, at the end of each adventure, players virtually arrive at a room where they meet the makers of this incredible experience.
