About Tug of War
Play Tug of War free: two players tap as fast as they can on one screen to drag the flag over their line. Perfect for little kids.
Tug of war was an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1920, and the screen version keeps the one thing that made it work: there is nothing to learn. That makes it the best first game for a small child playing a parent, and it is a good way to burn off the last of the energy before bed. Using several fingers is allowed - it is a rope, not a rulebook.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use more than one finger?๏ผ
Yes. Anything that taps your half counts.
What does the difficulty change?๏ผ
How far each tap moves the rope. On Hard each round takes longer, so stamina matters more than a quick burst.
How do we hold the tablet?๏ผ
Lie it flat between you for face to face - the top half turns round to face the other player. Or sit side by side with it upright in front of you. It picks one from the shape of the screen, and the button in the middle switches it.
Can we play on a laptop?๏ผ
Yes. Blue uses W, A, S, D and Space, Red uses the arrow keys and Enter, so two people can share one keyboard.
