How it works

Player versus player tug of war

Same questions. One rope. The player that pulls ahead wins the match.

  1. Both players see the same question at the same time. Nobody can skip ahead.
  2. A correct answer pulls the rope toward that player by 1. A wrong or blank answer does not move the rope.
  3. The question changes when a player answers correctly, or when that question’s time runs out.
  4. The exam lasts 15 minutes. The first player to lead by 10 wins. If time ends first, the player with the higher score wins.
  5. If both players finish level (a draw), the host starts a Retake for that pair. Scores go back to 0–0. Both players see a short shared get-ready countdown, then the match is played again on the same links — no need to refresh.
  6. Winners move to the next round. The final decides 1st and 2nd. Semifinal losers can play for 3rd.

On the day

What you need

Two screens are enough. One to play. One to watch the rope.

Player screen

Opens the live questions. No Check answer button. Answer, then wait for the next shared question.

Watcher screen

Shows both player names, the scores, and the rope. A watcher can message the host. At the bottom of this page is Release player screen, for when the play gadget fails.

Hold

Both the player and the watcher can press Hold. Each player has 2 holds. Hold freezes the exam timer for both players. A countdown of 60 seconds starts. The player that used Hold can press Resume early. After Hold ends, both players see a shared get-ready countdown of about 10 seconds before the exam continues, so neither side gets a head start.

After the match

Both sides can review every question, the correct letter, and what each player chose. Prizes go to the winner.

Retake

If the match ends in a draw, or the host needs the pair to play again, Retake resets that pair to 0–0 on the same links. Keep the screens open. Both players see a shared get-ready countdown of about 10 seconds, then the exam starts again by itself — no refresh needed.

Release

If the play phone or tablet crashes, freezes, or must be swapped, press Release player screen at the bottom of the watcher page and confirm. That gadget stops. Open the same play link on the new gadget to continue. The host can also release a play screen from the pairing page.

Practice before the day

Open these on any phone or computer. Same paper as the live game.

After you are accepted, the host will send the player link and the watcher link to the phone number or email you leave on the last page.
