The multiplayer game for teams that can't install software.

Why remote teams pick Splatbarn

• Nothing to install — most corporate laptops block .exe and .app installs. Splatbarn is a URL. Even the most restrictive IT policies let it through.
• Nothing to sign up for — no email, no password. Optional Google Sign-In just remembers your name.
• Nothing to configure — the host clicks "new game", everyone else pastes the 6-character room code.
• No server — the game runs peer-to-peer over WebRTC. Your team's data never leaves the browsers involved.
• Works on any device — MacBook, Windows laptop, Chromebook, iPhone, Android tablet. All the same room.
• Bots on demand — 3 people online + a 4th about to join? Add AI bots to balance the teams while you wait.
• Match ends fast — first-team-to-5-flags. Rounds run 5–10 minutes. Play one, get back to work; play three, break for lunch.

Recipe: a 15-minute team break

1. Someone opens the game link, clicks Host a new game, copies the 6-character room code from the URL bar.
2. They paste that code in your team chat.
3. Everyone else opens the link, pastes the code, clicks Join.
4. Pick your farm animal (cow, chicken, pig, sheep). Pick a team (red or blue).
5. First team to 5 captures wins. If it's a tie: instant anagram tiebreaker.

Yes, that's the whole thing. No clients, no launchers, and nothing to sign up to.

What it looks like when a team plays it

What we can actually show you

Nobody has sent us a quote yet, so there are none on this page. Here is what is true instead.

• No installer, no account, no server. The browsers talk to each other directly over WebRTC. There is nothing for an IT department to approve and nothing to uninstall afterwards.
• One link. The host shares a URL, or reads out a room code, and whoever opens it is in the lobby — on a locked-down work laptop, a Chromebook or a phone, all in the same match.
• Up to sixteen in a match, with AI bots filling any seat nobody claimed, so a session of four is still a full game.
• Nothing is kept about anybody. No cookie, no account, no name that outlives the tab. Our privacy policy is short, and that is why.
• The match survives the host leaving. One browser is authoritative, and when that person closes the tab the next peer takes over mid-round rather than the game dying with them.
• There is no matchmaking and no lobby browser, and that is the price of having no server: somebody has to send the link. You cannot drop in on strangers, which is also rather the point at work.
