Waxman Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Staff Writer Aug 21, 2015 6:11 PM CUT The U.K. video production company [Realm Pictures](http://realm-pictures.co.uk/ "undefined") produced a video in which a guy pranks people on Chatroulette — a site that lets users video-conference with strangers in an effort to meet new people — by turning the conversation into an experience that is supposed to mimic a first-person shooter video game. “Players” who get roped into this wacky game tell the man to shoot the zombies walking around the garden in the head or run away. Fake blood splatters on the screen at times. And there is even a huge face-off with a robot in a church. It’ll be hard for any other site user to top that icebreaker. _Read next:_ [_Don’t Expect These 7 Things on_ ](http://time.com/4006636/fear-walking-dead-latest/?iid=time%5Freadnext "undefined")[Fear the Walking Dead](http://time.com/4006636/fear-walking-dead-latest/?iid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") [_Download TIME’s mobile app for iOS to have your world explained wherever you go_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/time-mobile/id328218429 "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4006572/chatroulette-first-person-shooter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4006572/chatroulette-first-person-shooter/"},"headline":"Watch What Happens When a Guy Turns Chatroulette into a Zombie-Killing Experience","datePublished":"2015-08-21T18:11:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:42.793Z","description":"Talk about an icebreaker.","url":"https://time.com/4006572/chatroulette-first-person-shooter/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt846f90b200c4dc26/69886064cf40a8a686c3f577/screen-shot-2015-08-21-at-1-53-54-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
