How to play
- Set out one chair fewer than there are players. Play your own music (the app plays none).
- Walk round the chairs. At a random, hidden moment the app shouts STOP: pause the music and sit.
- The player without a chair is out; take away one chair. Last one sitting wins.
- The app counts the chairs and players for each round.
What the app does for you
The app runs the timer, the heats and the scoreboard. Hidden timers pick a random stop time that nobody can see, not even the host.
Played on one device: a phone, tablet or a laptop on the TV. Nothing to join, and it works offline once the site has loaded.
