Private Lobby

The same Head-to-Head or King of the Court rules, played with friends only - no public matchmaking, just a room code.

A room code, not matchmaking

  1. 1Host creates a lobby and gets a 4-character room code to share - friends join by entering the code or opening its link
  2. 2Host sets the rules before starting - full control, same as Practice mode: era, Objectives, team-blind, starting lives, lifeline uses, and bot difficulty for any empty seats
  3. 3Once everyone's in and ready, the host starts - gameplay is the same as any other match
  4. 4Running it back reopens a fresh private lobby - same host, settings pre-filled, new room code
The invite chip a host sees inside their lobby. Tapping it copies a shareable link in the form tetherballgame.com/private/X7K2 - friends can also just type the code in directly.
