How to call people into the room
Press “Invite with a link” in the game's bottom bar and send the link in a chat. A friend who's online right now can be called from the participant list.
In short
- The “Invite with a link” button (an icon of a group of people with a plus) is in the bottom bar, and anyone in the room can press it.
- On a phone the system “Share” window opens, on a computer the link is copied.
- A person without an account can join by the link too: they'll see who's calling them, sign up and take a seat at the table.
- An invited person enters a private room without a password.
- A friend who's online right now can be called from the participant list; and in your profile there's a personal link to the game in general.
A link to the room. In the bottom bar, press “Invite with a link”. Where there's a system “Share” window (most often on a phone), that opens, and where there isn't, the link is copied and you'll see “Link copied”. Drop it into your group chat. It works for a short time: about a day from the last time you shared it.
What the invited person will see. The invitation page opens without signing in: it shows who is calling and how many seats are taken. Someone without an account first signs up (via Google or email) or signs in, and returns to the same page. There they choose “Take a seat” or “Watch the game”. For both, the email must be confirmed: the page will say so and let them send the email again. If there are no seats left or the game is already underway, only “Watch the game” remains (if the owner allowed observers). If the room is closed, the invited person will see “This game is gone”.
Calling a friend from the list. At the top of the chat, open the participant list. In the “Friends online” section, press “Invite to room” next to a friend, and they get an invitation with a “Join” button. Only friends who are online right now are shown, and when no free seats are left, the section disappears.
Calling in advance. To call people before you've created anything, take your personal link: “Profile”, the “Friends” tab, the “Bring your crew” block, the “Share” or “Copy” buttons. It leads to the game's site and doesn't expire over time. Invited people who sign up and play are counted in your “You've brought in” counter.
