Play together
Soccer, boxing, racing, pool, the story mode and the town all run online the same way. One of you opens the game, the other types the code.
Every online game makes a short code. Send it however you normally send things — the game writes the message for you — and whoever taps it lands in your match.
You do not need seven friends free at the same time. Whatever seats are not taken by people are taken by computer players, and a real person can walk into that seat later.
Name a team, get a six-character code, hand it round. Every game any member wins counts toward the team's total, and the top ten teams have their own board next to the players' one.
Type your phone number once and tap save. Your wins are tied to that number, not to the phone — so a new phone, or a browser that clears itself, does not cost you your record. The number itself is never stored.
Teams
Create a team on the main screen and you get a six-character code to hand round. From then on every game any member wins adds to the team's total, and the top ten teams sit on their own tab next to the players. Tap Play With My Team and your crew drops into the same match — the other four seats are computer players until a real team joins on your code.
