Many people have been asking us what phrogging is; well the simple answer is that it is a game about living with stranger, but without their knowledge. What you have to do is try to sneak into someone’s house and live without the owners knowing that you are there.
The people who attempt to play this game called phrogging are known as Phrogs, but you have to remember that you have to respect the home of the occupants/owners. So remember you cannot break anything, just treat the house as if it was a friends, but it is ok if you eat their food.
Phrogs normally stay in a house for a couple of days then move on just in case they get caught, then it’s time to move on to the next home.
We at Product Reviews do not advise anyone to partake in phrogging, as it is an illegal act.

Phrogs do not really see what they are doing as a game. Its more like a lifestyle …which I do not recommend. (Too many homeowners now have guns and in some states it is legal to shoot trespassers.) Check out http://www.livingwithstrangers.com to learn more about phrogging and watch the video series ‘Living With Strangers’ to see two phrogs in action.
I’m relatively sure that this is a hoax. I’ve seen all the videos and there are a number of incidents where the phrogs are incredibly foolish, yet do not get caught. They plan to stay 7 days, but this doesn’t seem possible unless the owners worked 7 days in a row. Uncommon. Also, one night they spill pickle juice all over the place, smell of liquor and cigarettes and are quite drunk, push a bunch of crap from the top of a table onto the floor and hide under the table unnoticed, etc. Unlikely…
