Immersive Interactive Warmup Viral Trend Game

I'm sure a lot of you will have seen the 'Immersive Interactive Warmup viral trend. I think this would work really well with Nex and could be a really fun active game that could be done in all kinds of ways, loads of levels/themes etc.

Here's some examples: https://www.tiktok.com/en/trending/detail/immersive-interactive-warm-up

Here's what AI says about it:

"The viral video trend you're describing has blown up on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, especially in late 2025 into 2026. In this trend: A video (often with minimalist animations, line art, or on-screen prompts) shows a sequence of quick, repetitive movements or actions — things like pinch pinch pinch, hit hit, point point point, thumbs up, flick it, clap clap clap, and similar commands (sometimes including chopping motions with hands, jumping elements in full-body versions, or other energetic gestures).

Viewers are encouraged to follow along in real time, mirroring/copying the exact movements as they appear on screen, almost like a rhythm game or Simon Says-style interactive challenge.

People record themselves doing it (often reacting with surprise at how tiring or addictive it gets), and post their attempts, fails, or group versions, which makes it spread virally.

It's framed as a "warm-up," "brain break," "finger/hand workout," or fun interactive game, but escalates with faster levels or full-body variations that incorporate more dynamic actions like chopping (hand chops), hitting/slapping motions, jumping, or other physical copies."
