Step by step

  1. Start from the host’s save.
  2. Select the 3-player world.
  3. Assign a caller, carrier and runner on separated puzzles.

Why players get stuck here

World size sets minimum simultaneous puzzle requirements; it is not a hard maximum on who may join later.

Verify it before moving on

Before inviting everyone, agree on the host, world size, voice or text preference and the next session time. Those four details prevent most groups from losing progress or creating a world they cannot continue.
