Gartic Phone is an online multiplayer game that mixes drawing with the classic telephone game, where a written prompt is drawn, guessed, and passed along until the final result barely matches the start. Its ring sound became a standalone clip outside the game because the tone is instantly recognisable as a call. Players and editors began reusing it for trolling, dropping it into chats, streams, and short videos to trigger the automatic reaction of checking a phone, which keeps it useful far beyond actual gameplay.
