How many people can join a party tournament?

Unlimited — one challenge link serves everyone, each guest playing the same rounds. Brackets, ladders or free-for-all standings all work off it.

Do guests need to install anything?

Nothing — the link opens in any phone browser instantly. The setup time for the whole tournament is sending one message to the group.

What's the best format for a mixed crowd?

Best-of-one sudden death in a bracket: fast turns, maximum drama, and the rules of any mini-game fit in one sentence shouted across a kitchen.

How many mini-games does blocks.pw have?

Nine duel mini-games (reflex, tapping speed, stacking, aim, memory, timing, holding, ordering, visual search) plus six solo modes with world leaderboards.

Best mini-games for parties

Party games live or die on spectation: the room has to enjoy watching almost as much as playing. Thirty-second duels are engineered for the couch crowd — short enough that everyone gets turns, dramatic enough that the room reacts to a 12-millisecond defeat like a penalty shootout.

No console, no controllers to pass, no 'let me explain the rules' quarter-hour: phones people already have, one link, and a bracket on the fridge door. The tournament practically hosts itself.

True mini-games: complete contests in miniature, each testing one sharp skill in under a minute.

The ranking

1. 👊 Smash

Three seconds of furious tapping with a room screaming over it — the closest a browser game gets to a party trick. (Most taps in 3 seconds wins. No elegance required.)

2. ⚡ Reflex

Sudden-death reflex duels make perfect bracket material — three seconds per verdict keeps the whole room in turns. (Tap the block the instant it turns green.)

3. ⏳ Hold

The exactly-3-seconds game destroys tipsy internal clocks in the funniest possible way; the reveal is pure theatre. (Hold for exactly 3 seconds. Simple. Cruel.)

4. 🧱 Stack

One precise drop with everyone watching your hand shake: maximum tension per second of gameplay. (Drop the moving block dead-centre on the base.)

5. ⏱️ Bullseye

Stop-the-cursor-dead-centre is the party's precision event — near-misses hurt beautifully at volume. (Stop the moving cursor dead centre.)

6. 🧠 Memory

Watching someone's confidence collapse at sequence item five is communal entertainment of the highest order. (Watch the sequence. Repeat it. Don't blink.)

Duel by link: why it fits for parties

Party mode is one challenge link projected up or passed around: every guest plays the same rounds, live commentary included, standings updating with each attempt. The asynchronous format even absorbs late arrivals — whoever shows up at eleven still plays the same duel everyone's been fighting since nine. Champion picks the music; runner-up defends the title next party.

All of these live inside blocks.pw — nine duel mini-games plus solo modes with world leaderboards, every one free in the browser. Start a quick match, send a challenge link, or browse every game.
