Sandy Rotary: Games C/D 11Th Jan

[Buggles999]

Been struggling on this one for a month now!

It's a game. I have an answer but it doesn't have 6 letters but 5. I've queried this but haven't had an answer yet. Does anyone think there is an answer that does have 6 letters?

The clue is: A tap in (6 letters)

Any clues would be gratefully accepted.

Pinata - anagram of 'a tap in'?

Does it count as a game?

Thanks elliemay1 and Captain2. Both sound possibles. I must admit I looked at anagrams but dismissed Taipan as a snake!!! The setter hasn't used computer games in the other 99 clues, but could still be that. Now to toss a coin for which to put on the answersheet! Thanks again both. Much appreciated.

I would go with Captain's answer, I Googled 'is pinata a game?' and got this answer:

//Yes, a piñata is a game where players take turns hitting a decorated container until it breaks open and releases candy and treats. It's a popular party game for both children and adults//

Piñata is definitely the correct answer as there is the Spanish accent over the n on the clues and high needs to be used in the answer, so that it is pronounced "ny"

Thanks, Elliemay1 and Manchester Mike. My copy of the quiz got a bit soiled as I bought it at the local Christmas market. Hadn't noticed the accent; thought it was a bit of smudge!!! Thanks for your help.
