Scroll No More Challenge Winners
For Scroll No More , we switched off every smartphone in the world and left the aftermath to you. The results gave us plenty to laugh about, worry about, and occasionally even feel hopeful about along the way. Thanks again to Lightning Bolt ⚡ Bill for recommending this prompt!!

Dead Air Challenge Winners
Dead Air brought out some incredibly creative and strange ideas, and we had a lot of fun seeing where everyone took the prompt. From creepy toys and mysterious phone calls to sinister supermarket intercoms and a full-blown musical nightmare, there was no shortage of unique ways to make us think twice about what we're hearing.
