In short

crawl is a game you play by going out. Check in at a place and it turns your color on the map. Stay 30 minutes and it's locked in. It stays yours until someone else walks in and takes it.

Method

How it plays

  • Take it, hold it, steal it

    Walk into a place and hold the button to check in. Stay 30 minutes and it's locked in. Leave early and it doesn't count. The place keeps your color after you go home, until someone else walks in and takes it. If the person in control is still inside, you get in line and you're up when they leave.

  • Friends and crews

    Add friends and see which place they're at while they're checked in, if they share it. Join a crew and hold a neighborhood together. Starting a crew takes Pro: the captain pays and the crew plays free. Leaderboards cover tonight, this week, this season, and all time. Every month is a new season.

  • Stickers

    Places you hold show up on the map as stickers in your color. Prize stickers come from showing up, stealing, and trying new places. Nothing in crawl counts drinks.

  • Nobody sees where you are

    crawl uses your location to check that you're inside the place. Other players never see it. A place shows how many people are inside, and the only name on it is the person holding it. Turn on Low-key tonight to hide your name until tomorrow and keep playing.
