The Wildest Ways ‘Hamster Kombat’ Players Are Boosting Their Telegram Tapping
Hamster Kombat is the crypto game that rewards you for tapping the screen over and over—and the more you tap, the more you earn. Well, at least within the Telegram game; we’ll see how the token airdrop pans out.
Unsurprisingly, as the game becomes a large-scale phenomenon with 250 million purported players, people have started to get creative with the ways they tap their screens. For example, massage gun sales in Russia are apparently surging, reportedly due to craft Hamster Kombat players figuring out that it could super-charge their taps.
Some brands are even using Hamster Kombat imagery on their product listings. And sure enough, we’ve seen people using a massage gun to make their fingers tap more rapidly, as seen in the example below.
But it’s not the only way that Hamster Kombat players are finding inventive ways to log more taps. Here are a few of the wilder examples we’ve seen shared via social media.

One of the funniest ways we’ve seen people tap away at Hamster Kombat isn’t a one-hit wonder. We’ve seen multiple people attach some sort of artificial finger to their sewing machine so that when they use it, the machine grabs coins at a mega-fast rate.

But it’s not all about being a turbo-charged by third-party equipment. Sometimes it’s just about being economical with your time. This barber kept tapping away on Hamster Kombat while giving a client a haircut.

As for this example, well, we’re not entirely sure what he’s doing. He might just have the touch of the Hamster Kombat god, draining all his in-game energy in seconds.

Under the comments of this post, one sly user exposed an accessibility trick that they used to trick Hamster Kombat into thinking they’re tapping multiple times per single tap. We suspect this kind of exploit won’t last for long in the wild once the developers catch wind of it.
