Tips for Playing

- In Tug of War, time your pulls with the rhythm indicator to maximize your strength and avoid tiring out early.
- For Glass Bridge, memorize the pattern of safe panels; don't just rely on luck when you can track the visible cracks.
- Keep an eye on the movement patterns of other players—they can be unpredictable, but they often reveal the safest paths.
