FAQ
Do I need to download anything?
Most games run in the browser using HTML5/WebGL. Some older titles may require extra permissions or fallback modes.
How do I invite friends to my game?
Create a private lobby if available, then share the link or room code. Friends select Join Room and enter the code.
What's the difference between PvP and co‑op?
PvP means you compete against other players; co‑op means you team up to beat a level, boss, or shared objective.
Why is my ping high?
Distance to the server, Wi‑Fi quality, and background apps affect latency. Choose a closer region and close heavy apps.
Can I play on mobile or Chromebook?
Yes, many titles support touch controls and run well on modern mobile browsers and Chromebooks.
Are voice or text chat required?
No. Most games let you play without chat. If chat exists, you can usually mute or disable it.
