How it works

  1. 01

    Step up

    Walk up to the booth and pay your $25 entry. That's one attempt — one hang.

  2. 02

    Grip up

    Two hands on the bar, feet off the ground. The clock starts — 140 seconds is all that stands between you and the payout.

  3. 03

    Walk off rich

    Hold the full hang and take home $140. Drop early and it stays with the house. Rematches are $25.

The deal: $25 in · 140 seconds on the bar · $140 out. Think 2:20 sounds easy? The bar says otherwise.
