Support

The short version: one person creates a lobby, everyone else joins with the 4-letter code or by scanning the QR code, everyone taps Ready, and the host taps Start.

Hosting a game

1. Open the site, type your name and tap Create lobby.
2. Share the code, or let friends scan the QR code on the lobby screen.
3. Pick Solo or Teams. When everyone shows Ready, tap Start the game.

Joining

Type your name and the code on the home page and tap Join lobby, or scan the host's QR code. If you join while a match is running you watch the current game and get a seat at the next one.

A room won't load

Check the code with the host (codes use letters only). If the page says "No lobby with that code", the room may have closed: rooms clear themselves after 24 hours. Reload the page if a screen seems stuck; you keep your seat and your points.

Someone dropped out

Nobody waits for long: a player who drops stops holding up the round after a few seconds, and everyone moves on together. To get back in, open the same link on the same device. On a different device, join with the same name and pick your old seat when asked.

If the host leaves

Another player takes over hosting automatically within a few seconds; the game carries on.

Removing data

Rooms delete themselves after 24 hours. For anything else, use https://kitchenlabs-one.vercel.app/contact
