Play online with friends

BlipApps is built for free multiplayer games with friends: create a room, share a short code, and play on phone or computer.

Private rooms

Private rooms are invite-only. Only people with the code or link can join. Perfect when you already know who you want to play with.

  • Share a link from chat, mail, or messaging apps
  • No login required for guests
  • Start chess, draughts, or tic-tac-toe from the same lobby

Public rooms

Public rooms appear in the rooms list while waiting for a partner. Use them when you want free online multiplayer without inviting someone first.

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.
