## What is Hold?

Hold is a one-button game. Press and keep holding for as long as you can. It sounds easy until you try it.

• World leaderboard. Compare your record with players around the world: all-time, weekly, your rank and "Top N%".
• Friends by code. Add friends with a short code and see who can hold longer.
• Country battle. Pick your country and help it climb the table.
• Daily challenge. One goal for every player each day: 3 attempts, a streak of days and an evening reminder so your streak doesn't burn out.
• Themes. Unlock looks with your best time and streak: Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Aurora, Lava, Space, Gold. The backgrounds are alive, and some react while you hold the button.
• In-game hint. While you hold, see who is ahead and how long is left to beat them, and watch your rank change live.
• Battle of platforms. Android vs iOS in its own leaderboard tab.
• Achievements. Unlock rewards for time, games played and streaks.
• Presence check. While you hold, you sometimes have to touch a circle with your other hand, so the game knows you are really holding the button.
• Keep going. If you slip, you can continue the round by watching a rewarded ad or with an optional purchase: an extra try or a 24-hour pass.

Free to play, no sign-up. The game contains rewarded ads and optional in-app purchases.
