Starting a game makes you the Tag Master! That's right bub, the Tag Master.
On the main TagBub page you'll see the following form:
Enter a display name. The display name can be anything you want but it should be something recognizable to
the players you want to invite.
Enter your e-mail address. The e-mail address should also be recognizable to the players you want to invite.
Click the Next button and check your email for Verify Game e-mail. This e-mail will contain a link, click the link or copy/paste it into your
web browser. The link will only be valid for a short period of time so if it expires you'll need to submit the new game
form again. Once you've successfully verified the game link click the game setup button to continue.
Inviting Players to a Game
On the game setup page you can add players. Enter a display name, e-mail address, and click the add button for each player.
The display name does not need to be the players full name, it can be a nick name or just a first name. See example below:
Invited players will recieve an email containing a confirmation link. They must click the confirmation link to join the game.
You can invite up to 99 players.
This is where you decide how the game behaves. The settings are as follows:
| Setting |
Description |
| Start game after |
To play a game of TagBub you need at least 3 players. You can choose if the game will start after 3, 4, or all players have confirmed. |
| Once started the game should end after |
Choose how long the game should last. Whoever is the last player tagged when the game ends is the loser. |
| Ending mode |
There are two modes for ending the game, random and sniper.
- Random - the game ends at a random time within 60 minutes of the time period chosen in the previous setting. For example if you set the game to end after 3 hours, the game will end at a random time between 3 and 4 hours after it starts.
- Sniper - the game ends at a specific time. For example if you set the game to end after 3 hours it will end exactly 3 hours after it starts. This means players can wait to the last minute or second to try and tag another player.

game. To keep things interesting come up with creative consequences! Here are some examples:

- Take out the trash all next week.
- Buy doughnuts for the office.

- Put a trash can over your head and walk around making R2-D2 noises.
