What is Tug of War?

Tug of War splits the room into two random teams and gives them one rope. Everyone taps PULL as fast as they can, and every tap drags the flag towards their side.

Pull the flag past your team's line to win. The losing team drinks — together.

How Drinkup.buzz works

Drinkup.buzz is a free multiplayer party game that runs in your phone's browser. One person creates a room, the rest of the group joins with the code, and every phone plays in sync. Between rounds a reel spins to pick the next game, so Tug of War comes up alongside 17 other games — from trivia and reflex battles to Never Have I Ever. It's best played in groups of 4–10.

How are the Tug of War teams picked?

Randomly, every time you play.

How many players do you need?

At least two — one per team — but it's far better with a full room.

Do we need to download an app?

No. Drinkup.buzz runs in any modern phone browser. Open the site, create a room, and your friends join with the code.

Can we play without alcohol?

Yes. A “drink” can be anything — soda, juice or water work just as well, and the games are just as fun.
