How to play Musical Chairs
Survive each round's scramble for a chair — last player standing wins.
The silence right after the music cuts is the whole game in one instant, rewarding whoever reacts fastest when everyone else freezes.
- Wait while the music plays — tapping now knocks your own chair over and eliminates you
- Tap as fast as you can the instant the music stops
💡 One fewer chair than players every round, so the slowest tap is always out — speed matters more than timing tricks.
💡 Keep your hand near the tap zone the whole round instead of relaxing during the music, since you won't get a warning before it stops.
