The coffin dance meme launches a game for Android
Table of contents:
We see a small video clip showing us a situation that simply ends badly. The ending comes by surprise: we see a group of young people, elegantly dressed in funereal costumes, carrying a large coffin on their backs and dancing incessantly. A picture that has caused astonishment among Internet users and that, thanks to applications like Tik Tok, quickly became a meme. A meme that, even today, is still used to illustrate situations in which something ends badly and that is even so popular that it has ended up being a game for Android.
The game in question is called 'Coffin Run The Game' and its mechanics are very simple. We lead the group of porters through some corridors with vegetation. The group runs endlessly while we collect coins and slide to the sides, as well as jumping in a group to avoid the obstacles that come our way. In this video we can see a little gameplay to get an idea of what we are going to find.
Of course, we will have as background music the usual one that appears in the meme. But, when we lose (and we are going to do this too many times) we will find a version of it but with an out-of-tune flute. The game laughs at us if we lose. It appeared just four days ago, it has only 31 opinions and has a great average. It is inexplicable that this rating is because, beyond the joke, it is a product that offers few possibilities The controls do not respond immediately, the poor perspective of the objects it prevents us from jumping at the right moment and... in short, it's more of a joke application to download, show it to friends and have a laugh, than a serious game that's going to win fans.
The leader of the group of porters has announced the release of this peculiar game through his official account.

The game is free although it contains purchases inside. With the coins that we get in the game we can replace our usual protagonists with a court of medieval warriors, in addition to changing the interface and the ground that the characters walk on. In addition, it occupies a total of 83 MB its installation file. Seen the graphic section, we are surprised by its size, since it is quite poor. The game comes from an independent developer from Istanbul.
The origin of the meme
It is always appreciated to be able to know the origin of the most popular memes that we find on the net. In this case, the reality is quite attractive.This is a group of people who professionally carry coffins on the way to the cemetery, practicing some ritual dances They come from Ghana and call themselves 'Dancing Pallbearers'. During burials in Ghana, crying is often mixed with laughter and partying, in a celebration that can last several days. These curious porters provide the festive component and are generally hired by a close relative or close friend of the deceased, in order to offer them a tribute to the height.
The dance that is executed, which is not accompanied by the theme that sounds in the meme, is rehearsed in detail and its execution is so complicated that hiring these 'Dancing Pallbearers' is usually very expensive, reaching 4,000 euros.
