Grab the golden gem and hold on: every second you hold it is a point. Everyone else wants it. A dash into the holder knocks the gem loose, and the first to touch it takes it. Whoever held it longest wins when the clock runs out.

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 Golden Ratio

Hold the golden gem for longer than anyone else.

How you win: every second you hold the gem is a point, and when the clock runs out the most points wins. The Quick game is 90 seconds; the full game is 2½ minutes (or 4), with two gems when 6 or more play.

  1. Grab the gem

    A few seconds after Go, a golden gem drops into the middle. Touch it to take it: no button.

  2. Hold on to it

    Holding it, you score a point a second and glow gold. It's heavy: you run a little slower and your dash recharges slower.

  3. Knock it loose

    Dash into the holder: the gem pops out and rolls, and the first to touch it takes it. For a second after a shape takes the gem, nobody can knock it out again, and a teammate's dash never does.

  4. Mind the edge

    Fall off with the gem and it drops back into the middle a second later. You're back a second later too.
