If you find yourself stressed out by your coronavirus quarantine living situation, you might have something in common with Zora Neale Hurston.

That is, according to "Quarantine House," a super unofficial Twitter game that has sprung up as weeks of stay-at-home orders threaten to slingshot us all around the bend.

The game's simple: You gotta be trapped with five people in a house for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Choose wisely (or not wisely, depending on your taste and drama tolerance).

The meme appears to have started with groupings of celebrities:

House No. 4 looks to be the wisest choice there, though House No. 3 does seem as though it could veer sideways in an enjoyable way.

From there emerged sports versions, animal versions, author versions, Twitter in-joke versions, Texas music versions and more. There's even a Buffalo Bills roster version for some reason.

Note: It is already possible to be stuck inside with James Joyce for months on end.
