Play with friends — no internet needed.
One phone, the same room, or the same Wi-Fi. Three modes, none of which need mobile data — so the game never stops just because the internet dropped or someone's data ran out.
Pick the way you're connecting tonight
Three modes; pick whichever fits your situation. No login or account required for any of them. Online play over the internet is not in the app yet.
| Mode | Internet? | Cost | Latency | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pass & Play | No | $0 | 0 ms | One phone, kids/cousins at a dinner table |
| Same Room (Bluetooth) | No | $0 | ~50-150 ms | Car rides, basement, anywhere off-grid |
| Same Wi-Fi (LAN) | Wi-Fi only | $0 | ~10-30 ms | Same house, faster than Bluetooth |
Pass & Play — one phone, no internet
The simplest mode. Hand the phone around the table. Works in airplane mode. Ludo and Truth or Dare pass-and-play have no ads; Tic Tac Toe shows one every second round.
How to start a Pass & Play game
- Tap the Friends tab (third bottom nav icon).
- Tap the Pass & Play orange card.
- Pick a game: Ludo, Tic Tac Toe, or Truth or Dare.
- For Ludo, choose number of human players (2-4), tokens to win, rolls per turn, turn timer.
- Tap Start game — hand the phone to whoever's first.
Pass & Play is the only mode that runs fully in airplane mode. The host-phone never needs to find anyone.
Same Room (Bluetooth) — no internet, no Wi-Fi
Built on Google Nearby Connections — phones discover each other automatically over Bluetooth Low Energy. No pairing required, no Bluetooth menu setup.
How to host a Bluetooth room
- Both phones: tap Friends ❯ Same Room (blue card).
- Host phone: tap Host, type a display name, tap Open the room.
- Joiner phone: tap Join, type a name. The host's room shows up automatically as nearby phones discover each other.
- Joiner: tap the host's name. Host's screen shows the new player.
- Host: tap a game tile (Ludo, Tic Tac Toe, Ultimate Tic Tac Toe, Truth or Dare, Birdie Dash, Sky Hopper). The game opens on every player's screen.
First time: Android asks for Bluetooth + Location permission. Location is required by Android for Bluetooth peer discovery even though Game Night never reads your geographic location — and because of that permission, Bluetooth play is for ages 13+ (a one-time birth-year question). More on this ❯
Same Wi-Fi (LAN) — fastest, same router
For households where everyone's on the same Wi-Fi. ~3× faster than Bluetooth and free of BLE pairing quirks.
How to host a Wi-Fi room
- All phones on the same Wi-Fi network.
- Tap Friends ❯ Same Wi-Fi (green card).
- Host: tap Host, type a name, tap Open the room. Host's phone shows a QR code and the room address.
- Joiner: tap Join, scan the QR code (camera permission asked once) or type the address.
- Pick the game from the shelf inside: up to 4 players for Ludo, 8 for Truth or Dare.
Phones connect directly to the host by its local address — that's what the QR code holds. No data leaves your router, and Game Night doesn't see the connection at all.
