Llama Tug
Pull the rope and drag the llamas into the mud.
▶ Play Llama TugHow to play
A team of stubborn llamas holds one end of a rope in their teeth, and the other end is in your hands. Pull it back hand over hand, or with both hands together, in big moves away from the llamas. Every heave drags them closer to the mud; between heaves they dig in and win a little back. Over the edge they go with a splash, and the next, sillier team trots in: a baby, a big one, three in a tower, a conga line. For the last ten seconds a giant llama takes the rope.
What kids practice
- pulling with the arms and the back
- hand-over-hand coordination
- sticking with it
What you need
A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera. Open the game, allow the camera, and step back about a meter. No account, no controller. Two kids can play side by side.
What happens to the video
It stays on your device. The game reads the camera image and throws it away. The one exception is a short highlight a grown-up can choose to share at the end, deleted when you play again or leave. No video is ever uploaded. Our privacy policy has the details.
Who it's for
Our tug of war, and nobody has to lose it. A kid who stops for a breath loses nothing: the llamas just stick out their tongues and nod off on their feet, and a sleeping llama is twice as easy to drag. Two kids get a rope and a team each and pull away from each other, never against each other.
Questions
What age is Llama Tug for?
All ages. A coach on the screen shows the pull from the first second, and a pull that is too small gets a friendly "Bigger!".
How do you pull a rope that is not there?
Pull your hands back along the rope on the screen, one after the other or both together. The camera reads how far each hand travels, so big moves pull harder.
Can two children play?
Yes. Each has a rope and a team of llamas on their own half of the screen.
Is it free?
Yes. Free in the browser, and free on the Android app.
