# Disappearing Pen Games Kevin and Jules of PLP TV Played 'Pass the Pen' for Their Viewers By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-05-11 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pass-the-pen References: [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YngtaD1GYxs) PLP TV, a [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubepen) channel that focuses on [challenges and product reviews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-controller), uploaded a video that shows Kevin and Jules playing a game called 'Pass the Pen.' The two roll the dice and pick a card to see what kind of scenario or object that they need to convey on paper. On top of the pen that's included in the game, there's a timer that buzzes as they draw, and the ink retracts when their time is up -- adding more suspense to the whole experience and prompting them to get more creative with their drawings. As Kevin and Jules show, trying to convey certain things in Pass the Pen can be very challenging, however these drawings just make the other player's guesses even funnier. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Contemporary Pen Games:** There is a growing trend of pen games that incorporate unique features like timers and disappearing ink, adding an element of suspense and creativity. - **Interactive Youtube Challenges:** YouTube channels like PLP TV are popularizing interactive challenges that engage viewers and provide entertainment through games like 'Pass the Pen.' - **Creative Drawing Competitions:** 'Pass the Pen' style games inspire a trend of creative drawing competitions where players compete to convey scenarios or objects through their artwork. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming Accessories:** The rise of pen games presents an opportunity for gaming accessory companies to develop innovative pens with unique features like retractable ink and timers. - **Youtube Entertainment:** YouTube channels and content creators can leverage interactive challenges like 'Pass the Pen' to engage their audience and generate increased viewership. - **Art and Drawing Supplies:** The popularity of creative drawing competitions creates a market for art and drawing supply companies to promote specialized products for pen-based games and challenges. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bathroom Humor Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pass-the-ass-game.md) - [Monster Drawing Party Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsdrawsity-unusual-suspects.md) - [Fast-Paced Challenge Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-off.md) - [Phone-Inspired Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-phones-1.md) - [Dual-Functioning Mechanical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-penpass.md) - [AI Drawing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pictionary-vs-ai.md) - [Simplistic Dynamic Game Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-egg.md) - [Text Roulette Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hit-send.md) - [Gamified Writing Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otona-no-yaruki-pen.md)
