Listed below are some games so weird, that you’d be taken aback by them:

1. Underwater Hockey or Octopush "in which two teams compete to manoeuvre a puck across the bottom of a swimming pool into the opposing team's goal by propelling it with a hockey stick (pusher)." It is played in the UK.
 
2. Unicycle Golf is a popular game around the world.
 
3. Wife carrying, in which men race with a female team-mate on their shoulder.

There’s one game which is hell weird because it takes its inspiration from a fictional game. It is Quidditch, which takes its inspiration from the game of same name produced by J.K. Rowling in Harry Potter series.

Quidditch is a sport of two teams of seven players each mounted on broomsticks played on a hockey rink-sized pitch. It is based on a fictional game of the same name invented by author J. K. Rowling, which is featured in the Harry Potter series of novels and related media. The game is also sometimes referred to as muggle quidditch to distinguish it from the fictional game, which involves magical elements such as flying broomsticks and enchanted balls. In the Harry Potter universe, a "muggle" is a person without the power to use magic.

From cardboard cylinder battling to sportthocking there are a great deal of abnormal games played over the globe

Be that as it may, the most abnormal game is the "Cell phone tossing " rivalry held every year in Europe .The member with the longest toss is picked the champ
