Content creators need to get creative to get their posts to become viral, along with attracting audiences and keeping them glued to their content. To do so, they have to come up with various challenges that are outrageous or goofy enough for people to watch.
Some challenges are dangerous and often fatal, but some promote positivity and laugh instead.
Here are some top TikTok challenges people on social media could get into to engage with their audience, generate views, and even go viral.

The bread and butter of many short-form social media platforms, including TikTok. The Lip Sync Challenge has people dancing to the beat of the music while lip-syncing its lyrics to imitate singing.
The challenge and the trend itself have yet to die within TikTok, which saw its launch in 2016 - seven years ago. If you're looking for a way to generate audience engagement and traffic, you might want to start with something as simple as the lip sync challenge.

Spicy food can be a delicacy for those who can handle the heat or a form of guilty pleasure for those who cannot. Either way, each person has a different way of reacting and dealing with spiciness, which makes for good content.
The process is simple: take one of the spiciest foods you can get but haven't tried yet and record yourself cooking and eating it. However, you have to be mindful of what your limits are and prepare what you have to do to recover from the spiciness.

This one is for pet owners and fur parents worldwide. You probably know how voracious our pet animals can be when it comes to food. The question is: would they have the self-control necessary to wait for you to let them eat it?
The Leave It Challenge is basically the marshmallow test done on kids to see if they're patient enough to understand the concept of delayed gratification. Only, unlike kids, the goal here is to see if your pet can control itself from not eating the food you prepared for them immediately after you leave the room.
The results may vary, but either is hilarious; it makes for good audience engagement and traffic.
