How to play
Crowd Clash is a free crowd battle game. Walk around the map, grow your crowd and be the biggest crowd when the 4-minute timer ends.
The goal
- Grab grey people. Walk into them and they join your crowd.
- Beat weaker crowds. A green ring means a crowd is weaker than you. Run into it to fight. Some of the beaten crowd joins you.
- Run from stronger crowds. A red ring means danger. Get away and grow first.
- Finish near the top. When the time runs out, the biggest crowds win the most coins.

Power-ups
Every round also starts with a short shield, so nobody can beat you in the first seconds.

Coins and the shop
At the end of each round you get coins for:
- every crowd you beat (10 coins each)
- your biggest crowd size
- coin piles you pick up on the map
- your final place (1st place gets the biggest bonus)
Spend coins in the Shop on upgrades like Bigger Start, Archer Squad, Giant Friend and Fast Feet, or on new crowd colours.
See every way to earn coins and all the shop prices in the coins guide.
Maps and the Daily Challenge
- Three maps: green Grassland, the Desert with cacti and sand swirls, and Snow with snowy pines and frozen lakes. Pick one on the home screen, or pick Random.
- Daily Challenge: every day everyone plays the same map with one special rule, like Giants only or Fast crowds. Play it as often as you like. The game keeps your best crowd of the day.
See what is on each map, with real screenshots, in the maps guide, and all 9 daily rules in the daily guide.
Tips to win
- Grab grey people first. A bigger crowd early makes everything easier.
- Only attack crowds with a green ring. If the ring is red, run!
- Big crowds are slower. A small crowd can often escape a big one.
- Keep a speed or shield power-up in mind for a close fight.
- Archers shoot before the fight starts, so a few archers help a lot.
- Forts have chests inside. Grab them when no strong crowd is near.
