The player controls the pig on the far right of the screen. Whenever the one on the farthest left starts spinning his chair, so will the next pick in line, and so forth. When you become the last pig to spin, you must do so in the same timing as the others. Afterwards the pig on the farthest left will start the trend again by stopping his chair.
Sometimes instead of the pigs stopping their chairs one at a time, the female assistant will say "one, two, three!", signaling for everyone to stop at the same time with more force.
