Playing Browser Games With Friends: A Simple Guide

Most browser games are single-player, but that doesn't stop you playing with friends. Here's how to turn them into a friendly competition.

Being honest about multiplayer

Let's be upfront: the games on Robluxx are single-player games. There's no online matchmaking or live chat built in.

But that doesn't mean you can't play with friends. Some of the most fun gaming moments come from simply playing the same game as someone else and comparing results. All you need is a game with a clear score and a group of people who like a bit of friendly competition.

Score battles

The simplest way to compete is a score battle. Everyone plays the same game, and the highest score wins.

Games with a clear score work best. Snake Pro, Rush Highway Madness, Pinball PRO, and Tap Bounce Basketball are all great for this, because the rules are simple and the scores are easy to compare.

Agree on the rules first. How many tries does each person get? Best of three, or best single run? Settling this before you start avoids arguments later. A screenshot of your final score is the easiest proof.

Taking turns on one device

If you're in the same room, you can pass a phone or share a computer. Each person plays one round, then hands it over.

Quiz Now! is brilliant for this. Show the picture and let everyone shout out guesses, or take turns answering. Awesome Math Quiz works well for kids competing with siblings. Soccer Penalty Pro and World Goal Keeper are fun too, especially if one person takes the shots and the next tries to save them in the other game.

Keep it light. Let the loser pick the next game, and switch games often so nobody gets bored.

Playing with friends far away

If your friends aren't in the same room, a video call works well. Everyone opens the same game page, someone counts down from three, and you all start at once. Afterwards, compare scores.

You can also share your screen on a call and let friends watch you play, which is fun for hard games like The Impossible Space Battle.

For busy friends, try a weekly challenge in a group chat. Pick one game for the week, and everyone posts their best score by Sunday. The winner picks next week's game.

In classrooms and at home

Teachers can use short games like Awesome Math Quiz or Shoot the Digits as a quick reward or a break between lessons. Because they run in a browser, there's nothing to install on school computers.

At home, a family game night can be as simple as putting Quiz Now! on the TV or a laptop and taking turns. Younger children can team up with older ones, which keeps everyone involved.

Keep it friendly

The goal is to have fun together, not to win at all costs. Mix up the games so different people get a chance to shine. Some people are great at reflex games, while others are better at puzzles.

Pick a game, send the link to a friend, and see who comes out on top.
