Piggyback is a fairly new feature inFall Guys, which might need to be clarified for some returning or new players. The premise is simple: hop on another player’s back or let them hop on yours and carry each other to the finish line. However, in practice, this feature might not feel instinctive — especially now that you have to press an Emote button to request and accept Piggybacks.
The following guide aims to compensate for the lack of in-game instructions on Piggybacks inFall Guysby explaining what the feature is and how you can use it, as well as offering some extra information about this fun mechanic.
