Free · offline · no entry fees

Run a Ludo tournament for your friends, not the entire internet.

Game Night gives you the Ludo board — on one phone, over Bluetooth or on the same Wi-Fi — and a free bracket creator for quick knock-outs. No entry fees, no pot, no prizes, no gambling. Just the six people who actually show up, and the bragging rights afterwards.

What's a tournament in Game Night

Three pieces, all free, all offline

Game Night doesn't run public lobbies or cash tournaments. It gives your group the tools to run its own.

🎲

Ludo matches

1–4 players on one phone, over Bluetooth or on the same Wi-Fi. Pick house rules once — tokens to win, rolls per turn, turn timer — and every match in your bracket plays the same way. The bracket creator doesn't include Ludo yet, so keep the Ludo bracket on paper or in your group chat.

⚔️

Local bracket creator

Single-elimination brackets of 2, 4 or 8 players on one device. Add friends by name and fill empty seats with bots. Bracket the dice roller, coin flip, Birdie Dash, Snake or 2048. Free to enter — no entry fee, no pot, no prizes.

🎯

Daily & weekly challenges

Personal-best boards kept on your phone: Daily Sixes, Heads Up, Roller of the Week, Birdie Dash High Score, Long Snake and 2048 Climb. You race your own best score — handy for keeping a group chat warm between proper Ludo nights.

How to run one

A Ludo bracket for 8 friends in one evening

  1. Draw the bracket — 8 names, 2 tables of 4 for the first round. A sheet of paper or a pinned WhatsApp message both work.
  2. Set the rules once — in Ludo setup, pick tokens to win (Quick for shorter rounds) and a turn timer so nobody stalls.
  3. Play each table — pass one phone round the table, or connect phones over Bluetooth or the same Wi-Fi.
  4. Top two from each table go to a 4-player final. Write the result down; take a screenshot of the winning board.

Warming up while people arrive? Open Tournaments, create an 8-player dice or Snake bracket, fill the empty seats with bots, and pass the phone. Our full guide to hosting a Ludo tournament at home covers scoring and tie-breaks.

Why no cash, no lobbies

The difference between a tournament and a lobby

Most "Ludo tournament" apps drop you into a public lobby with strangers, real-money entry fees, and matchmaking that pairs new players with sharks. The competition is intense but the social texture is gone — you don't know who you beat, and you don't carry the result anywhere.

A home bracket flips that. The people at the table all play the same rules, and the result lives in shared memory. The cousin who won last week gets ribbed in the family WhatsApp for an entire weekend. That ribbing is the actual product.

Game Night is built for that second model. We deliberately don't offer public lobbies or real-money stakes, and there are no in-app purchases at all.

Honest comparison

Game Night vs MPL and Pocket Ludo

Two real Ludo tournament apps. The trade-off is cash stakes versus bragging rights.
