The rules

Each player uses their own phone. Wait until GO, then tap. Tapping early is a false start. Reactions within 30 milliseconds tie. Times use server receipt, so network quality can affect results in this alpha.

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 Tap Race. 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.
