2022 started a hilarious Chinese New Year social media trend that has families and friends playing for prosperity
You might have seen it on your own feed — a blindfolded person, armed with a spatula, trying to scoop as much money as they can from the floor or a table and into a bowl within a specified amount of time.

While the game may sound easy, the countless videos on TikTok are proving that it is tougher than it seems
The challenge is especially funny as many family members — no matter young or old — very confidently try their luck.
Not to mention, many families have been conveniently using face masks as blindfolds.
It's cute to see families sitting in their living rooms, holding up kitchenware, and laughing at each other try — and mostly fail — to pocket some cash
If you'd like to join in the fun, another game of chance to play this CNY involves lining banknotes around your dining table
The game also became popular on TikTok this year as families turn their dining tables with lazy Susans into literal 'wheels of fortune'.
