Your next browser game night with friends

Prepare the room before sharing the link

Choose a nickname of 2–18 characters and create a private room. Pick a player limit that fits your group, then copy the invitation link from the lobby. The link fills in the code; each friend still needs a name and must join. Keep the link in your group chat: a private room is code-based, not a password-protected account space.

Choose a manageable first match

For a first session, try Easy words, one round and 90 seconds per build. These are suggested settings, not a separate game mode. Everyone gets a turn building in each round: six players at 90 seconds can use up to nine minutes just on building, plus word selection, countdowns and result screens. Increase the number of rounds once you know how long your group wants to play.

Help friends join an ongoing match

A friend with the code can join a private match already in progress if there is space. If joining fails, check the code and choose a distinct name. An old invitation can stop working after the room empties or the server restarts. Refreshing the same tab may restore an existing session, but it cannot restore a room that no longer exists.

Playing with English and German speakers

Each player can choose English or German. The interface and word labels use that language; player names and chat are not translated. Guess the term in your own selected language. A voice call in another app can help organize the evening, but FormFieber itself has no voice chat. Keep spoken answers to yourself until the reveal.

When the group is not ready yet

Use Practice to learn camera movement and transformation handles while waiting. Quick Play is a different option: it matches public players and does not reserve places for your invited group. Stay with a private code when your goal is to play together. If someone has trouble with precise editing on a small screen, suggest a mouse or trackpad and a short practice session first.
