PLAYING AS A GUEST.
Guest play is solo only. Your hero is saved in this browser. To host a world or join a friend's, sign in below — it is free, and your hero comes with you to any device.
YOU HOST.
THEY CLICK A LINK.
1. Press START ADVENTURE. You get a link.
2. Send that link to your friends however you like. They open it and they are standing in your world.
3. Keep this tab open — it is the world. Close it and everyone else carries on playing on their own.
It is your world and it keeps everyone's hero. Host again next week and they are all still there, right where they left off — and the link is the same one, because each world has its own permanent room code.
Your friends do not need to install anything — just a browser.
PASTE WHAT THEY SENT YOU.
The whole link or just the code — either one works. The first time you visit a world you start at level 1 there; after that it remembers you, and your hero is waiting whenever you come back. Your own saved game is never touched.
Ask whoever is hosting for their link.
ONE PERSON HOSTS.
EVERYONE ELSE JOINS.
For people in the same house. No link, no internet — but somebody has to run the game folder from a terminal.
1. On the host computer, open a terminal in the game folder and run:
npm run host
2. It prints a "On your network" link, like http://192.168.1.20:8080
3. Everyone else opens that exact link in a browser on the same wifi. This box fills in automatically.
Already filled in if you opened the host's link. Otherwise type ws:// then the host's address and port, e.g. ws://192.168.1.20:8080
ALWAYS ON. NOBODY HAS TO HOST.
These worlds are up all the time. Walk in whenever you like, leave whenever you like, and your hero is still standing there next week — along with everybody else's.
Pick one and press START ADVENTURE. There is no code to type.
Every world recognises you by this code. Copy it onto your other device and your heroes come with you. Keep it to yourself — anyone with it plays as you.
No password? Leave it blank and SIGN IN emails you a 6-digit code (first time makes the account). Signed in, your hero comes with you to any device.
Account page → to create one with a password, or to set one.
Three characters on every world — a knight, a wizard, and the one you play with your cousin. Each starts at level 1 on a world it has not been on.
