The rules

After a two-second ready period, tap the highlighted critter for twelve seconds. Each player can score once per appearance. A wrong hole costs one point, never below zero. Most points wins. One phone each; connection delays can affect very late hits.

What you need and how to start

This game needs one phone per player. Open Party Arcade, choose Create a room, share the room code or invitation link, then select Pop-Up Critters. Each friend joins on their own phone. Names are optional.

In a room, choose the game first. Everyone, including the host, taps I’m ready. The host then taps Start to begin.
