About

Tag'it

Features
Read full description

Tag'it turns the classic playground game into a day-to-day contest with your friend group. One person is always It. The clock is ticking — whoever's It has to pass the tag to someone else in the group before time runs out, or get stuck holding it. When you're tagged, you get a short window to dodge: spend Tag Points, watch a quick rewarded ad, or accept your fate and pass it on. HOW IT WORKS - Start or join a group with a shareable invite link — no accounts to hunt down, just send the link. - Whoever's It has to tag someone else before the round resets. - Getting tagged doesn't mean it's over — dodge with points or an ad, or take it and tag back. - Power-ups add strategy: Boost your next tag, Shield yourself from incoming tags, Freeze an opponent's timer, or Lock a target so they can't dodge. STAY IN THE LOOP - A real-time activity feed shows every tag, dodge, and near-miss in your group. - Daily login rewards and streak bonuses keep the points coming. - Leaderboards track who's dominating your group and your friends. Tag'it is free to play. Tag Points are earned through play — power-ups can also be purchased for those who want extra options, and short rewarded video ads are available if you'd rather watch than spend. Built for groups of friends who want an excuse to keep messaging each other. Gather your group, pass the tag, and don't get caught holding it.
