Step by step

  1. Use a password or controlled join code.
  2. Split into named subgroups.
  3. Choose one landmark for regrouping.

Why players get stuck here

The puzzle world scales only across 2, 3 and 4+ variants, not separately for every player count up to 12.

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.
