How it works

Big, physical, and easy to follow from the carpet. Harder questions pull harder, so comebacks happen.

  1. 01

    Two teams, one rope; the knot starts in the middle.

  2. 02

    Read a question; both teams race to answer.

  3. 03

    The team that gets it right pulls; harder questions pull further.

  4. 04

    First to pull the knot over its line wins.
