How to play tic-tac-toe online on BlipApps

Free multiplayer tic-tac-toe in your browser — classic play, larger boards, or misère mode. Play with friends without login.

Choose board and mode

Create a match, pick board size and mode, then share a private room or list it publicly. Marks are assigned at random when the game starts.

Misère and larger boards

Misère mode flips the usual goal. Larger boards change the pace. Both still work as real-time free multiplayer games in the browser.

Score and ranking

BlipApps uses an Elo-inspired rating. After each finished game, both players gain or lose points based on the result and the rating gap.

Ratings are updated only when every player in the match is signed in. If someone played as a guest, scores wait until that seat is claimed.

Beating a stronger opponent earns more points. Beating a much weaker opponent earns few or none after rounding. Losing to a much stronger opponent may leave your rating unchanged.

Formula: change = round(32 × (actual − expected)), where expected comes from the rating difference (Elo scale 400).

Win = 1, draw = 0.5, loss = 0. New players start at 0.
