Everyone drops shapes on one big board at once: four of yours in a line scores (five in the full game). Build your lines while you watch the others build theirs, and block them with your own shapes or a grey stone. Finished lines leave the board, old pieces crumble, and most lines when the time is up wins.

How to start

  1. Open Gonfetti on your phone and start a room. Bots fill the empty seats, so you can play right away. Nothing to install.
  2. Friends join with the room's link or code, each on their own phone, side by side or far away.
  3. Or put Gonfetti on a TV, laptop or tablet everyone can see: everyone scans the QR code, and their phone becomes their controller. Gamepads and keyboards work too.

How to play Collinear

Drop your shapes on a board everyone shares, and make lines of your own.

How you win: the most lines when the time is up wins; then the most shapes still on the board. The Quick game is 90 seconds and a line is four in a row; the full game is 3 minutes on a bigger board, and a line is five.

  1. Drop your shape

    Move your ring to an empty square and drop your shape there. Then your ring fills up again, which takes just over a second.

  2. Line them up

    Four of your shapes in a straight line (five in the full game) score a point: across, down or diagonal. The line flashes and leaves the board.

  3. Block the others

    Everyone plays at once on the same board, so put a shape in their way. A grey stone blocks every line, yours too; it has a wait of its own.

  4. Nothing stays for ever

    Everything on the board crumbles after 20 seconds: it cracks first. Two drops on one square at the same moment become a grey stone.
