Subbuteo ( ) is a tabletop football game in which players simulate association football by flicking miniature players with their fingers. Its name derives from the scientific name of the hobby hawk, Falco subbuteo. Peter Adolph (1916–1994), the game's creator, had wanted to call it "Hobby", but he was unable to obtain the trademark.

Whamageddon is a game played during the 24 days before Christmas in which players try to go from 1 December to the end of Christmas Eve (24 December) without hearing the record "Last Christmas" by British pop duo Wham!. Based on the Little Drummer Boy Challenge from the mid-1990s, if the player hears the record between those days, they are out of the game and have to post "#Whamageddon" on social media to indicate that they have lost. Hearing other recordings of "Last Christmas" does not constitute a loss.
