Peel Frenzy

A fruit, a line on its skin, and one strip of peel. Don't tear it.

Put your thumb on the tab and pull. Stray off the line, or pull faster than the peel will come away, and the tension meter climbs — let it reach the top and the strip tears. Sixty seconds a round, or until you tear three.

WHAT YOUR THUMB IS DOING
• Follow the line — the meter climbs while you are off it
• Pull steadily; a yank counts as much as a wobble
• A clean peel is 100 points, 50 more for never wobbling
• Tear a strip and you keep whatever came away
• Two clean peels in a row steps your multiplier, to 5x

Resting is safe: lift your thumb and the tension bleeds off — the clock is what charges you for it.

A HUNDRED FRUITS, AND THEY DO NOT REPEAT
Every fruit has its own shape, color and line. A lemon has points on its ends, a raspberry is a cluster, a dragonfruit has fins, a melon its netting.

WHERE IT GETS HARD
Nine stretches, each asking for something the one before it did not.

Tracing comes first: curves, waves, zigzags, spirals, then tough rind that comes away slower, then a figure-eight that crosses itself, then two strips on one fruit and three. Take them in order — tearing one loses the lot.
