Broadly speaking, a game of chicken is one where the first to yield loses, but neither player yielding will lead to the worst possible outcome for everyone. There are a few common forms this can take: two opponents driving their cars towards each other (whoever swerves out of the way first loses) or towards a cliff (whoever brakes first loses), or standing on a railroad with an incoming train (whoever gets out of the way first loses). Sometimes, this can involve emotions rather than physical threats, such as "gay chicken", where two straight men act increasingly gay towards each other until one feels too uncomfortable to go any further (thus proving that the other participant is more secure in his sexuality). It goes without saying; Do Not Try This at Home! Fatal accidents can — and have — happened to people who tried this. It's better to be the chicken who refused to play than dead duck who did. More generally, "Game of Chicken" can be used as a metaphor for any challenge that depends on seeing who will be the first to back down, such as in political or business negotiations. (The first person to cave in usually gets the worse side of the deal, but if nobody caves in, neither side gets a deal.) Compare Wronski Feint, Mutually Assured Destruction, and Showdown at High Noon; similar concepts include Mexican Standoff and Prisoner's Dilemma. Closely related to Macho Masochism, and Nobody Calls Me "Chicken"! Also related to Zany Scheme Chicken. |

In the fourth season, Limited Life SMP, the Bad Boys faction have a game of this on Day 1, where they each set fire to a block on the roof of the very flammable Woodland Mansion they call their base, and the last one to put out their fire wins. | |

A one-sided version happens in Death Race 2000 where the racers score points for killing spectators. Three spectators stand out on the road, then jump down a manhole at the last moment as the car approaches. Unfortunately the first two decide to pull over the manhole cover before the last man gets in. So he gets killed, and then the other two die when they stick out their heads to smirk at their handiwork and fail to see another car racing up on them... | |

In Shades of Grey, Eddie Russet reminisces on a game he and his friends used to play as children: "dusk running, where the last one back to the safety of the streetlight was the winner." (This is a world where stepping into the darkness at night can cause madness and death.) A showdown between the two champions, Lizzie and Richard, ended with Richard's complete disappearance until his body was found eight months later. The kids stopped dusk running at that point. | |

The Hire: In "Beat the Devil", James Brown (playing himself) wagers the Devil that his driver can't beat the Devil's driver in a car race. As they're racing down the highway, they see railroad tracks cutting across the road and an oncoming train. Brown's driver puts his foot down whereas the Devil chickens out and shouts for his driver to stop, causing a spectacular car crash. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: In "Gorizilla", when Adrien jumps off the roof, he can transform and save himself at any time, at the cost of revealing his Secret Identity to the world. Unbeknownst to him, Hawk Moth is on the other side of the game — able to order Gorizilla to let Ladybug go so she can save him, at the cost of losing his chance to learn if he's Cat Noir. If neither of them flinches, Adrien will hit the ground and die. Because Adrien has unwavering faith that Ladybug will save him, Hawk Moth flinches first, and Cat Noir's identity is safe. | |

Condorman: During the first chase scene, a KGB driver takes a shortcut to get ahead of Woody's car and charges him head-on, apparently hoping to force him off the road. Instead, Woody activates an angled forward-mounted shield that serves as a ramp, vaulting the enemy vehicle over his car and into an explosive collision with the car behind him. | |

Community: In the first episode of season 2, after Jeff rejected Britta in the previous year, she's riding a wave of popularity as a strong, independent woman who was willing to put it all on the line for love—when in reality she was just in a pissing match with Jeff's ex-girlfriend. Jeff gets fed up and starts dating her to prove a point; since she can't back down without losing her newfound fame, they get into a ridiculous game of chicken (encouraged by Abed) that almost leads to them getting married within hours of their first "date." Annie eventually gets fed up and calls Jeff out for what he's been doing, making Jeff and Britta both realize they're being crazy. | |

Calvin and Hobbes: Two passenger jets do this trying to land on the same runway in one of Calvin's toy-inspired fantasy sequences. Calvin's plane gains a decisive advantage by doing a barrel roll. In another strip, Calvin asks his mom if he can learn how to skydive. His mother responds, "Why not just play chicken on the railroad tracks? That would be an easier way to toy with death, I'm sure." |

This is how the ambush predators known to the SCP Foundation as SCP-745 operate; they hunt in pairs using their bioluminescence to resemble oncoming cars at night, and sprint towards lone vehicles at speeds over 100 mph to force drivers to stop or swerve off the road, allowing them to feast on the car's occupants. The only way to survive is to win the game, as they'll split from each other and run past if the driver calls their bluff. | |

Ingeniously invoked in Touchstone Pictures' Pearl Harbor, where boyhood friends Rafe McCawley and Danny Walker played chicken in propeller airplanes, learning to avoid disaster by each pilot banking hard left, turning the planes' wings almost vertical. During the fateful attack on 7 December 1941, they use this tactic while being pursued by Japanese fighters. While McCawley and Walker dodge each other successfully, their pursuers slam into each other at speed. | |

DOUBLE K: When Simon gets kidnapped by a suspect, Kamina challenges him to a game of chicken to get him back. The suspect doesn't initially believe that he'll really let him go if he wins, but Simon says that Kamina does things like this all the time. Kamina rides on the hood of his car while a few shanghaied prostitutes drive. Once the race starts, Kamina orders the prostitutes to bail, but stays on the hood. When the cars crash, he leaps off the hood, grabs his partner and the suspect, and does his best badass pose while the cars explode behind him. | |

"Charging Chicken" in Rhythm Heaven Megamix is a solo variant. You need to charge up an electric car as much as possible, and send it over a crumbling bridge to a small platform. Charge the car too much and it drives off the cliff. Don't charge it enough, and it stops on the crumbling bridge (and falls into the sea). Also, the car is driven by a chicken. | |

Mario Party has several of these. Mario Party 5: The minigame Night-Light Fright has the players stopping an approaching Chain Chomp with a flashlight. Whoever let's the Chomp get closest before stopping it wins, but of course you instantly lose if it reaches you. Making things more complicated is the Chomps approach at varying speeds. Do you turn early, or let it come a little closer, hoping it doesn't get a sudden burst of speed... Mario Party 7: In the minigame Gimmie a Brake, players must brake their scooter at the farthest distance without falling into a pit of mud. Mario Party DS: The Battle Minigame Short Fuse is centered around this concept, as players must blow into the DS microphone to whittle a bomb's fuse as low as possible without actually setting it off. Refusing to blow into the mic at all causes the bomb to instantly explode. Wario's Bluff, a minigame of Mario Party-e, is decided by which of two players can stop closest to the edge of the cliff without falling off. Mario Party 10: In Balloon Blast Bash, each player uses an air pump to inflate a balloon, with the winner being the player who pumps their balloon larger than anyone else. However, if a player inflates their balloon too much, it will pop, and that player will automatically get last place. The Rosalina amiibo board has an event where players jump atop a Sling Star, then shake the Wii Remote to charge up power, after which they will be launched into space and earn coins. The higher they fly, the more coins they get, but if they charge up too much, the spring in the Sling Star will break, and the player will get no coins at all. |

A version of this occurs in Congo, when Peter is confronted by a wild gorilla in full threat display (roaring, baring his teeth, ripping up the grass around him, and even charging). Demonstrating his understanding of gorilla behavior and, honestly, balls of steel, he stays still, keeping his eyes averted towards the ground. Ultimately, the gorilla leaves him alone, satisfied that its display worked. Peter explains afterwards that if he had fled, the gorilla would have bitten him on the hinders, leaving him with a Mark of Shame that would indicate to all the other gorillas that he was a coward. | |

In My Monster Secret, Akane wants chocolates from the local Supreme Chef. Her great-granddaughter, Akari, wants to punish her by feeding her chocolates from the school's numerous Lethal Chefs. Where does the game of chicken come in, you ask? Akane is a stupidly powerful demon, and summons an asteroid that will destroy the Earth if she doesn't get what she wants or is defeated. So while the rest of the world is sending failed space teams to destroy the asteroid, despairing about the end of the world and altogether looking like your standard disaster movie, the main characters are feeding a little girl really REALLY bad chocolate. In the end, Akane finally loses consciousness, and the asteroid veers off course, saving the world. It's that kind of series, yeah. | |

In Sonic Shuffle, in the "Egg and the Chicken" mini-game, the four players are standing under basketball hoops that Eggman tosses bombs into. The player who stands under their hoop the longest without getting blown up by their bomb wins, while any player who runs away too soon or gets blown up gets sucked up by Eggman. | |

Episode 9 of Zombie Land Saga reveals that this is how Badass Biker Saki died: a rival biker gang challenged her to a game of chicken where they both drive towards a cliff; whoever brakes first loses. You can probably figure out the outcome yourself. In the present day, the daughter of her best friend gets caught up in the exact same game. Saki intervenes and takes her place: since she's already dead, she's not afraid of crashing. | |

In Sword Art Online Abridged, when Yui shows up at Asuna and Kirito's cabin and calls them her mom and dad, Asuna plots to use Yui to force Kirito to annul their marriage as she realized it was a bad idea. However, Kirito realizes this and decides that two can play that game and decides to do the same to force Asuna to do the same first. This turns into a race to see who blinks first. No one blinks. | |

Aerrow in Storm Hawks often does this against Talons, noting they without fail always "blink first" and more often than not end up crashing their rides in a panic. In fact, in "Talon Academy" he gives this very advice to a recently Heel Face Turned Talon named Lynn (who failed such a game against him earlier in the episode) and sure enough the Talon she goes up against "blinks first." | |

The Scholomance has a political example. The eastern enclaves got the western enclaves who manage the Scholomance to add the Chinese-language track of general classes to the school and give them more Scholomance seats for their children to attend by threatening to create another Scholomance to compete with the current one. This is actually something that neither side wants, as there simply isn't enough indie wizard children to populate both schools and act as diversionary fodder without increasing the mortality rate of enclaver children. However, the threat had enough teeth that the Board of Governors blinked first and gave them what they wanted rather than put up a fight. | |

Life SMP: In the fourth season, Limited Life SMP, the Bad Boys faction have a game of this on Day 1, where they each set fire to a block on the roof of the very flammable Woodland Mansion they call their base, and the last one to put out their fire wins. In the fifth season, Secret Life SMP, Scar, Impulse, and Bdubs are assigned to play this against each other on Day 6, with success requiring any one individual to win three games. It's initially made a bit complicated by the fact that Scar has no idea what a chicken game is at first, thinking the task is referring to games revolving around chickens. Since the task never said that they couldn't keep playing games until all three of them won three each, they play nine games overall to make sure everyone can succeed at their secret task for the day. |

Subverted in Goldfinger. James Bond's weaponised Aston Martin proves effective in scattering the mooks in Goldfinger's factory, but as he's driving down a corridor between two buildings he's confronted by another vehicle driving head on towards him with its headlights on full. Bond fires his built-in machine guns, but the car doesn't swerve and at the last second he's forced to, crashing into a wall. It's then revealed that Bond was firing at his own reflection in a steel mirror, set up to reveal oncoming cars at a junction. | |

When KITT tries to take over control (being programmed to protect human life), Michael won't let him and stays on course, knowing KARR (who is programmed for self-preservation) will swerve first. KARR ends up driving off the cliff and into the ocean. | |

A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry considers that all pre-modern cavalry on cavalry encounters are this. Crushing into another fully armored rider at full gallop is bound to catastrophically injury both of them and their mounts, but the first one to slow down or turn aside would be disorganized and at a risk of being surrounded and flanked by the opposing cavalry. Unlike many examples of this trope, most cavalry encounters ended up with both formations slowing down to non lethal speeds to push through each other with their weapons. | |

They stood on top of a train and the first to leave before it entered a tunnel was the chicken, but the "winner" got stuck and would have hit the tunnel if Batman hadn't stepped in. As he tells them once they're safe, "You play chicken long enough, you fry." | |

An X-Men novel opens with the team separated into two groups for a mock battle, led by Storm and Wolverine. Towards the end Ororo manages to grap Wolverine by the wrists and says that, since being dropped from a height would really inconvenience him, Healing Factor or not, he needs to say uncle. Wolvie responds that it's 'Ro who needs to say uncle, since she hasn't considered how silly it is to be holding him by the wrists, and while she's obviously bluffing, he's just crazy enough to do it. She replies that she's just as determined to win as he is. The first to blink is Iceman, who's been watching the whole thing in increasing horror and finally can't take it any more. | |

Fate/Grand Order: The "Dead Heat Summer Race" event has Boudica challenge all the racers to see who can ride the closest to the mouth of a volcano. As soon as the race starts, Scheherazade chickens out and refuses to move her vehicle, saying she doesn't want to risk death, to her partner Nitocris' frustration. The other racers are forced to stop because of obstacles like lava flows. It gets down to Boudica in her chariot vs Nero and Altria Alter in their car. Boudica says she doesn't care if she dies as long as she can beat Nero, since she hates Romans. Just as they reach the mouth of the volcano, Nero and Altria Alter stop. Boudica doesn't, but Nero and Altria Alter grab her and pull her to safety as her chariot falls into the lava. To Nero and Altria Alter's surprise, Boudica declares Oda Nobunaga and Mysterious Heroine X the winners because they actually fell into the volcano (the two survive). | |

In the old Super Friends, there was a Wonder Twins short called "Game of Chicken" where the duo had to rescue one of two teenagers who tried this. In this variation, the participants piloted motorboats towards the topside of a waterfall on a river, and the one who turned away first was chicken. Ironically, the one whom the twins had to rescue was technically the winner; the guy who turned chicken could at least say he was a smart chicken. | |

Gattaca has a variant that brothers Vincent and Anton would play many times growing up. They both swam into the ocean, and the loser was whoever first said it was time to swim back. Vincent ended up winning their last two races in spite of his "genetic inferiority". At the end of the film, he explains that he won because he never saved any energy for the return trip, clearly explaining to his brother that he is most deserving of going to Titan because he is willing to give everything he has to do it. | |

Parodied in Last Action Hero: This works in the movie world that Jack Slater, a Captain Ersatz of John McClane, inhabits, but not in the real world. Except it does work because Slater wisely chooses a car with airbag protection, unlike his opponent. Danny at one point attempts this on the villains car... on a bike. He tries to rationalize it that since this a movie and he's a good guy, it has to work. He then realizes (almost too late) that he's not The Hero, he's the Plucky Comic Relief so it won't work. |

Doctor Who In "The Time Monster", the Master acquires an artifact that will allow him to control an almost omnipotent transdimensional being; the Doctor initiates an overload of the Tardis's systems that will destroy them both unless the Master hands over the artifact, while the Master insists he'd rather perish than surrender absolute power. The Doctor caves first, but companion Jo triggers the overload. Fortunately they all get better. They played this again in the revived series, at the end of "Last of the Time Lords" when the Master threatens to blow up Earth with him and the Doctor on it with the black hole converters of his would-be universe conquering space fleet. The Doctor calls him on it, pointing out that he knows the Master and knows that he would never kill himself. The Master caves. |

The Fragility of Bodies: The Blood Sport that Rivero is in charge of for The Cartel. Rivero picks two "brave" 10~ year old boys from the soccer club and offers them cheap cash in order to participate. He drives them to the train station at night, and orders them to stand on the track and to wait until the last possible moment before jumping out of the way of the incoming train, with wealthy people betting on the winner. And sometimes, they wait too long. | |

Blake's 7. In "Duel" the Liberator is being fired on by three Federation cruisers. Rather than wait till they've worn down their forcewall, Blake decides to go Straight for the Commander and ram Travis' ship. Instead of taking evasive action Travis decides to fire everything he has at point-blank range. Sufficiently Advanced Aliens intervene before we find out what would have happened next. | |

A Darker Path: Taylor kills the police's suspicions of her involvement in Sophia's death with a single conversation, but there's still a risk of someone in the PRT making the connection to the fact that Sophia bullied Taylor for a year. That is, there was a risk, until she publicly claims the kill as "Atropos" after murdering her way through the city's worst gangs. Faced with the possibility of outing Atropos and drawing her ire if they investigate further, for the sake of a troublesome Ward who could have landed them all in hot water, the PRT blinks first, officially doubling down on an alternative theory involving the Empire 88 and unofficially acknowledging that they don't want to know any more. | |

There's a task called a Fast Forward in The Amazing Race that pops up Once a Season or so. It allows for the team who gets it to go right to the pit stop right away, all but guaranteeing a first place victory. note There have only been two recent teams who got the Fast Forward but didn't come in first. One because one of the partners got dehydrated on the previous non-elimination leg and had to quit a task, getting a four-hour penalty. The other was because of the weather The catch is that only one team may do it and if you go for it and someone a) beats you to it or b) you fail and another team gets it, you have to go back and do all of the other tasks which almost guarantees you getting eliminated. There will almost always be a fight over it between two teams before someone ultimately backs down. Nowadays the Meta Game has evolved that teams would rather stick with the pack and lose a battle to win the war, so to speak.There are still teams who care about winning individual legs even though they’re risking elimination but most would rather finish in the middle and not take the chance. | |

"Angel Down, Sussex" features a game of chicken between a car containing the fleeing antagonist and the hero, a former combat pilot, in a low-flying Sopwith Camel. The pilot knows that if it comes to collision the Camel will come off second-best but figures that it will at least mess up the front of the car enough to halt it and let his colleagues catch up; anyway, he's counting on the driver of the car to flinch first. | |

Akagi: Akagi's introduction reveals he was playing a two-man cliff version just before he came into the Mah Jong parlour where the story starts. Akagi won by not exiting the car at all and willingly plummeting off the cliff at full speed; his opponent bailed out just too late and fell to his death. | |

In Biggles a frequent piece of advice for new pilots is "never turn off from a head on combat". While there is an element of Honor Before Reason in this it's also practical advice, if two planes are flying directly towards each other than the first one to turn away is giving the other plane a perfect opportunity to shoot him down. | |

The final battle in Wing Commander has the TCS Tiger's Claw facing off against two Kilrathi warships. The smaller one is taken out with torpedoes, but the larger ship is moving straight at the Claw while firing at her. Paladin takes temporary command since the captain is incapacitated. He has the Claw move straight at the enemy, stating that he expects the enemy to blink first. Indeed they do and turn away, passing very close to the Claw. Paladin has all portside missiles launched at point-blank range, obliterating the Kilrathi. | |

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things makes a Brick Joke of a game of Gay Chicken between Kratos and Leonidas. "When Spartans play Gay Chicken, they play for keeps, kid." It starts here, then much later it progresses to the "arguing about buying furniture" stage. Eventually it ends with Leonidas conceding defeat, while Kratos realizes it's a Pyrrhic Victory. | |

King Solomon's Mines. A German pilot thinks he's in this trope when faced by a plane piloted by Jesse Huston; unfortunately she's so scared she's holding her hands over her eyes, so doesn't even realise what's happening. Despite his Badass Boast that he won't turn away first, he wisely does so. | |

Woolsey tells them to go ahead and destroy the city, which would also ruin all the equipment they need to get their new bodies. The replicators relent. | |

In Torque (Jak and Daxter), when Keira is unable to bring herself to kill the three gangsters in the sewer, she instead activates her eco glove which uses an electric shock. They are all standing in water, so she could easily shock them all into unconsciousness and drown if they shoot her. Jinx deems it not worth the risk of calling her bluff and lets her go with one of the prizes that they were after. | |

Mario Party 10: In Balloon Blast Bash, each player uses an air pump to inflate a balloon, with the winner being the player who pumps their balloon larger than anyone else. However, if a player inflates their balloon too much, it will pop, and that player will automatically get last place. The Rosalina amiibo board has an event where players jump atop a Sling Star, then shake the Wii Remote to charge up power, after which they will be launched into space and earn coins. The higher they fly, the more coins they get, but if they charge up too much, the spring in the Sling Star will break, and the player will get no coins at all. |

The Yu-Gi-Oh! game's answer to this is Chicken Game, a Field Spell which works as follows: The player with less Life Points cannot take Battle Damage, and once per turn, the turn player can spend 1,000 Life Points to either A) draw one card, B) destroy this card, or C) increase the Life Points of his opponent by 1,000. While using this card has enormous benefits, letting you draw cards and stop taking Battle Damage should you use it enough, it's also very risky should the card be destroyed; thus, the player who used the second effect is "chicken" (but might be the winner of the duel if the other player used the effects too carelessly). The card's illustration shows the vehicle monsters Oni Tank T-34 and Overdrive racing toward a cliff, whie Oni Tank T-34 looks like it is going to chicken out. | |

Megalo Box: Junk Dog is introduced playing the cliff version solo for no stakes at all, just trying to see how close he can get to the cliff's edge before he has to swerve. It's implied he does this to work out his frustrations about not feeling challenged in the ring: After honestly fighting a non-rigged boxing match against a Worthy Opponent, he stops his next attempt prematurely because, in his own words, "I can't go back to that". He goes right back to it in episode 10, when Nanbu and Fujimaki reveal they want him to take a dive in the Megalonia semi-finals. | |
