Bird Box is the latest Netflix original the internet is obsessing over, and it's now inspired fans to take part in a new challenge.
For those who aren't familiar, the film sees Oscar Award-winning actress Sandra Bullock and her two children trying to survive as a mysterious force wipes out an entire population.

If you see this evil entity with your own eyes, you'll die. Sandra's character Malorie Shannon takes her two children on a perilous journey down a river to safety while completely blindfolded to escape death.
Here's the official synopsis: "When a mysterious force decimates the population, only one thing is certain -- if you see it, you die. The survivors must now avoid coming face to face with an entity that takes the form of their worst fears.
"Searching for hope and a new beginning, a woman and her children embark on a dangerous journey through the woods and down a river to find the one place that may offer sanctuary. To make it, they'll have to cover their eyes from the evil that chases them -- and complete the trip blindfolded."
And this new Netflix-born challenge sees people trying to complete everyday tasks while completely blindfolded just like in the flick.
