Picking one for the group you have

• A big group, or a work team: Splatbarn. It plays from 2 to 16 in any mix of people and bots, so an odd number or a late arrival never breaks the teams. The remote teams page has a thirty-second setup for a call.
• Friends who want to race: Kartzoom. Everyone joins from one link and the computer drives the rest of the eight-kart grid, so a race is never empty.
• Up to four, around a board: Pawnrush or Letterloft. Ludo is the easy one for mixed ages; Tiles is the one for people who argue about words.
• Up to four, on one puzzle: Wordburrow. Everyone works the same word puzzle together. Nobody is racing anybody.
• Head to head: Rookwise and Jumpwise are strictly two-player. See 2-player games online for more ideas for two.
• A visit rather than a match: Moon Life lets a friend come to your moon with a code and help you gather. They can walk around and pitch in, but they cannot move or take your things.

How the rooms work

The person who hosts starts a room from inside the game. Link games hand you a url to paste into a group chat; code games show a short code that is easy to say out loud on a call. Everyone else opens it in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on whatever they have: a work laptop with installs blocked, a Chromebook, a phone.

The browsers then talk to each other directly over WebRTC. That is why there is nothing to sign up for: there is no game server keeping accounts. If a room will not connect, a network that blocks browser-to-browser traffic (usually a strict VPN) is the likely cause; a phone hotspot gets around it.

Questions

How do my friends join a game?

Whoever hosts starts a room. Chess, Checkers, Ludo, Letterloft and Kartzoom give the host a link to send; Splatbarn, the word games and Moon Life give a short room code to read out. Everybody else opens the link or types the code in their own browser.

Are the rooms private?

Not password-protected. In several of the games a room you host is shown in the game's live list while it is open, so share your link and start when your friends are in.

Do we need accounts or a download?

No. Nobody signs up and nothing is installed. The browsers connect to each other directly, with no game server in the middle, and there are no ads.
