How a round works
Step
When a round starts, a Phonk track begins playing across the arena. Your job is to listen, work out which song it is, and get to the chair with that song's name on it. The timer decides how long you have — if it expires and you're in the wrong chair or no chair at all, you're eliminated on the spot.
- Listen to the track pay attention from the first second so you can identify the song early.
- Move immediately the more time you spend deciding, the less time you have to close the distance.
- React to changes if the music stops or the beat drops, treat it as a signal and adjust fast.
- Outlast the field rounds continue with only the surviving players, so staying in is the only path to winning.

Using drift to cover the arena faster
Tips
The arena is wide enough that the distance between you and the right chair can cost you a round. Drifting lets you carry speed through corners instead of slowing down to turn, so you reach your target sooner.
- Drift around corners instead of stopping and turning — you arrive at the chair faster.
- If the music changes mid-round, be ready to redirect your drift toward a different chair instantly.

What happens after you get eliminated?
You're out for that game and earn no coins from it. From there you can join a new game or head back to the lobby.
