With the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games postponed, a North Carolina family organized their own Olympic-inspired games in their own home. The Presley family created their own series of games like “Toilet Paper Dodgeball” and “The Straw Challenge.” So far their videos have gotten over 36 million views on TikTok.
Alex Presley who is the games “commissioner’ said the family usually plays board games together but wanted something a little more intense.
"It started because we usually play some sort of board game or card game after dinner, but we got tired of all the basic games. So we decided to change it up a bit," he said to “Good Morning America,” adding they'd been playing for two weeks straight. "We have just been filming and thinking of crazy challenges every day… This is kind of how our family normally is, but we just have a platform like TikTok to share it now.”
