PLAY TOGETHER

How does nearby multiplayer work without internet?

No internet server. A local connection between your devices.

Download before you head out

Downloading, installation, purchases and subscription restoration need their respective online services. Install before your gathering or trip. Offline play does not mean offline downloading.

Nearby Apple devices

Turn on Wi-Fi and allow local network access. Compatible nearby Apple devices can discover rooms; joining the same Wi-Fi network usually makes discovery easier.

Mixing iPhone and Android

For multiplayer, download matching Android through the host’s current-version QR code or link. Current iOS 1.27 has a fixed Android 1.27 download; latest Android is 1.28. Check compatible versions before joining; do not mix 1.27 and 1.28. Compatible versions use the same Wi-Fi network or hotspot and a shared game. One player creates the room; the others search and join in the foreground.

A room is missing

Check local network permission, Wi-Fi and foreground app state. Device isolation on public routers can block discovery; try a private network or hotspot. Remote internet matchmaking is not a feature of this app.
