The #ClubhouseChallenge on Twitter pokes fun of user interactions and the types of conversations that are had on Clubhouse, the latest social media app marked by its exclusive invite-only membership.

The app is currently in beta. It allows invited members to create rooms in which they can speak to one another using their phone’s microphone feature. There is no video involved. Users are identified by a handle and a profile picture.

The rooms are split into individuals who are moderators and speakers, listeners followed by speakers, and others in the room. Anyone can become a speaker by “raising their hand.”
