About QWOP

QWOP is the running simulator where Q, W, O and P control individual thighs and calves, and a hundred meters becomes the hardest distance in sports. It's deliberately, gloriously unmanageable — a physics comedy about how much your brain does for free when you walk.

Reaching even ten meters earns real respect. Finishing the hundred puts you in an elite club of the stubborn.

How to Play QWOP

  1. Hit Play above. No download will start — the game runs in the tab.
  2. Controls are keyboard and mouse — start with the obvious inputs and the game will teach the rest.
  3. Improve run by run; the first tries are for learning the rules.

Controls: Keyboard / Mouse

Tips for QWOP

  • Forget running — learn the knee-shuffle first. Ugly, but it moves.
  • Alternate short Q+P and W+O presses in a slow rhythm; panic input is instant splits.
  • Lean slightly forward at all times. Backward is unrecoverable.
