Tug of War

Tug of War is a team quiz game played on one rope. The room splits into two teams; correct, fast answers give your team pull power, and after each reveal everyone taps their phone to heave. Drag the flag over your line and the other team lands in the mud. Or skip the questions and run a pure tap battle as an energiser.
