HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1Create a pattern with exactly four beats, such as clap, knee tap, stomp, snap. Perform it slowly once while everyone watches or listens.
  2. 2The active player repeats the full four-beat pattern three times without pausing, changing the order, or adding a beat. Other players may clap a steady background pulse but do not copy yet.
  3. 3After three correct repeats, level up by adding one new beat to the end. A mistake ends that attempt and records the highest pattern length completed correctly.
  4. 4Rotate active players after a mistake or after reaching eight beats. The player with the longest completed pattern wins; solo players try three separate ladders and keep the best result.
