It is a fast-paced game named after soda brands that tests the players agility and attentiveness. Players must reach the taya as fast as possible everytime they are given a chance to move when the taya says “Pepsi!’

Mechanics

The taya stands facing away from the players. When they call out “Pepsi!”, the players move forward, trying to get as close as possible. When “7-Up!” is called and the taya looks at their back towards the players, everyone must immediately stop. The challenge comes when a player successfully reaches the taya and taps their shoulder—at that moment, they must race back to their starting point before getting caught. Anyone tagged before reaching safety becomes the new taya.

How to Play Pepsi 7-Up!

One player is chosen as the taya and faces away, while the rest of the players stand at the starting line.

Step 1

The taya calls “Pepsi!”, and players move forward. When the taya says “7-Up!” and turns to look at their back towards the players, everyone must freeze. Anyone who moves must go back to the starting line.

Step 2

Step 4

If anyone gets tagged before reaching the starting line, that player becomes the new taya. If no one gets tagged by the taya, they will have to be the taya again.

Step 3

The goal is to reach the taya and tap their shoulder, then quickly run back to the starting line.
