Did you know?
- While the game title remains in English, a Spanish player might say they are taggeando to a friend, turning the English word 'tag' into a Spanish conjugated verb.
- If you were to translate the title into standard Spanish, it would become la etiqueta del gorila, which sounds like a physical clothing label attached to a primate rather than a game of chase.
- While Gorilla Tag is a brand name, Spanish speakers use various local terms for the actual activity of 'tag', such as el pilla-pilla in Spain or la traes in Mexico.

- Me gusta jugar Gorilla Tag.I like to play Gorilla Tag.
