Free games to play with friends
You can play with friends on Lantern Path Games without accounts or chat. 3 games have online co-op: one player makes a private room and shares a four letter code.

Questions
Can I play online with friends in real time?
Yes, in 3 games: Dart Showdown, Blaster Squad, Boarded Up. One player presses Play with a friend and gets a private four letter room code, and friends on other computers type that code to join. There is no chat, no accounts and no public matchmaking, so only people you give the code to can join.
How does a challenge link work?
Finish a round in a game that shows a score, then press Challenge a friend on the results card. It makes a link with your score in it. A friend who opens the link sees your score as a target to beat. You can add a short nickname of up to 12 letters or numbers, which travels inside the link only.
Does it need an account or a username?
No. There are no accounts. A nickname is optional and only appears inside the link you send.
Can I use an Xbox or PlayStation controller?
Yes in some games. Plug in or pair a controller and the How to play panel shows its buttons. It has been checked in Dart Showdown, Flatpack, Factory Escape, Sleepover Siege, Pie Drop, Redoubt, Sticker Sniper, Blaster Squad, Market Stampede, Floor Is Lava, Toy Tank Takedown. Games that are aimed with a mouse are harder to play on a controller.
Can two people play on one device?
Yes in Blaster Squad: player one uses W A S D and J, player two uses the arrow keys, and there is a local tournament for 2 to 8 names. Players three and four need game pads. Other games here are single player, but quick score games work well for taking turns.
