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 Tessellate

Own the most floor: leave your colour, loop round and come back to fill it in.

How you win: the most floor when the clock runs out wins. In the Quick game every tile you own scores a point each second, so hold your floor all the way; in the full game only the floor at the end counts. Teams add up their floor.

  1. You never stop

    Your shape keeps moving by itself: you only steer. It turns at the next tile; while a trail is behind you it can't turn straight back into it. The edge of the floor stops you.

  2. Loop out, come back

    Off your colour you leave a trail. Get back to your colour and the trail becomes yours, and so does everything inside the loop, other players' floor too.

  3. Your trail is your weak spot

    Anyone who runs over your trail pops you, and so does your own trail if you cross it. Popped, you lose the trail and are back home two seconds later.

  4. Cut them off

    Run over a rival's trail while they are out to pop them. Their small home patch is always theirs. Teammates' trails are safe for each other.
