Crab Game is a mini-game centered game inspired by the popular Squid Game series on Netflix. Players compete in multiple mini-games to survive until the end and be the last player standing. This can be difficult for new players, especially if you don't know what to do each game.
How to get started
Join a server
You can join a server by pressing the Find Game button on the title screen. When you do this, a menu will appear that lists all available servers in descending order of the number of people on the server. If you're looking to start a game ASAP, it's best to join a server on this list that has around 25 people (assuming a max of 40) who haven't started games. Otherwise, you might find yourself stuck joining a server that won't let you in, or having to wait for multiple games to finish.
Create a server
You can create a server yourself by pressing the Play Game button on the title screen. From there, it will let you set some basic options for the game. When you're ready to start the lobby, tap Create. Then wait for players to join!

How to play each minigame
There are several games you can play. Here are the basic instructions for each game.
king of the hill
The object of this game is to stay on the hill as often as you can and for as long as you can. Players with the least amount of time on the hill at the end of the round will be eliminated.
bomb label
A bomb will be given to a random person at the start of the round. After a few seconds, this bomb will explode. Players with a bomb must try to pass it to other players before it explodes. The player holding the bomb when it explodes will be eliminated. Subsequently, a new bomb will be assigned to a new player. This repeats until the end of the turn.
Red light Green light
Players must move from one side of the arena to the other in time while avoiding being targeted and eliminated. All players moving during the Red Light phases of this turn are immediately eliminated. You can only progress during the green light phases of the turn. Anyone who does not make it to the end of the arena when time is up is out.
Label
In Tag, a few players start as It and must tag other players before time runs out. All players who are at the end of the round are eliminated. This game is easy: just make sure you're not!
king of hats
At the start of these rounds, several random players receive a crown. The goal is to keep the crown as long as possible to accumulate time. At the end, the players with the least accumulated time are eliminated. To take a hat from another player, you must slap a player with a hat. Try to find a place to hide (half-high ladders in the corners are often a good option) when you have a hat for extra time.

The ground is lava
Players all start on a different platform at the start of the round. Every two seconds, one of these platforms will collapse and sink into the lava below. Any player on one of the sinking platforms will sink with it and be eliminated. Players can slap each other in this game, so you have to jump between platforms and avoid players who might knock you down.
Tile player
In this game, people are randomly assigned to one of four teams. The goal is to make as many tiles as possible change the color of your teams, which you do by touching them. At the end of the round, the team with the fewest accumulated tiles is eliminated. The best way to win this game is to go up high and place the wall tiles on the top level, as most players will focus on the center tiles.
glass path
This game mainly focuses on luck. Players must follow a path that has two options for each step. One step will be weak ground and will break under you when you jump on it, and the other step will be solid. Players must complete all stages before time runs out or they will be eliminated. Beware of other players who might slap you off the platforms!
That's all the games we have so far! Expect this list to be updated as additional games are added in future updates!
