How to play Tug of War
Tap faster than your rival to drag the rope all the way to your side.
Twenty seconds of nonstop tapping turns into a real arm-burning sprint, with the rope visibly creeping toward whoever refuses to slow down.
- Tap or click the panel as fast as you possibly can
- Every tap pulls the rope one step toward your side
💡 It's a 20-second sprint — go all-out from the very first tap.
💡 Use alternating fingers or hands to tap instead of one finger, since you can sustain a faster steady rate without tiring out early.
