In 6 steps
01 · Open the game in a browser
Go to tabajara.xyz in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. On a phone, play in landscape with the on-screen touch controls. Performance depends on your device and browser.
02 · Pick a nick
The nick is 2 to 14 characters and stays saved in your browser: it’s the name shown on the match scoreboard and in kill announcements. The menu asks for this local nickname before starting; no account or registration is needed.
03 · Pick a faction and a character
10 factions in the catalogue, 6 already playable: ESQUERDA, DIREITA, TRIBOS URBANAS, PALHACOS, FUNKEIROS, MITICOS. Check the character catalogue and choose your character in the menu.
04 · Pick the map and the mode
12 arenas: Praça dos Três Poderes, Piscina da Treta, UPA 24h da Treta, Loja H (Estacionamento), Ferro Velho do Zé, Quebrada (Rua do Baile), Lajes (Comunidade), Treta na Amazônia, Escadão (Morro), Córrego (Favela de SP), Posto da Treta, Sertão da Treta. 2 open in rounds and 10 in Capture the Flag, but you can switch any map’s mode before starting. Team size is yours too: from 1v1 up to 8v8, with 4v4 as the default.
05 · Aim, crouch, shoot
WASD moves, the mouse aims, left click shoots and right click opens the scope. Crouching with Ctrl (or C) makes your aim much steadier - it’s the difference between hitting and missing with a no-scope AWP.
06 · Win the round
Rounds last 1 minute and 39 seconds; the team with more kills when the clock hits zero takes the round. In the default deathmatch setup, three rounds win the match and the fifth round is the cap; the menu offers best of 1, 3, 5 or 7; the team with more rounds wins.

Tips that change the outcome
- The no-scope AWP is inaccurate on purpose: shoot standing still and crouched, or open the scope with the right button.
- The radar always shows allies, and enemies for 1.6 s when they fire. Noise is information.
- In Praça dos Três Poderes, the giant cracked voting machine in the middle is the best mid cover.
- Running (Shift) makes noise and costs you accuracy. Walk when you’re crossing an angle.
- With the knife out you move faster - it’s for rotating, not just for humiliating.
