Avatars of Football Multiplayer

#head-to-head-avatars-of-football#race-avatars-of-football#elimination-avatars-of-football
Sign-in required

Three bookmarks, one per multiplayer mode. Firing any of them hosts a new public lobby of that mode — with Avatars of Football’s standard settings — and drops you straight into the room to wait for players. Requires a free account.

The three modes

Head to Head

#head-to-head-avatars-of-football

A 1v1 duel — hosts a 2-player lobby on the Best of 5 format. Share the link or wait for someone to join from the lobby browser.

/games/avatars-of-football#head-to-head-avatars-of-football
Open

Race

#race-avatars-of-football

A sprint for up to 10 players — first to 5 correct wins. Hosts a Race lobby ready for others to pile in.

/games/avatars-of-football#race-avatars-of-football
Open

Elimination

#elimination-avatars-of-football

Battle-royale for up to 10 — everyone starts with 3 lives, last player standing wins. Hosts an Elimination lobby on a 30-second round timer.

/games/avatars-of-football#elimination-avatars-of-football

Pattern

No query params — each hook hosts a lobby with the mode’s default format (Best of 5, First to 5, or 3 lives). Want different settings? Host one of these, then tweak the lobby before anyone joins, or build a fully custom room from the Multiplayer tab on the hub.

Behavior

  • Requires sign-in. A signed-out visitor is sent to login first, then bounced back to host the lobby once authenticated.
  • Firing creates a fresh PUBLIC lobby (so others can find and join it) and navigates you into the room as the host.
  • If you’re already in another lobby, the hook takes you back to that room instead of creating a duplicate.
  • The hash is read once and cleared via history.replaceState — refreshing the hub doesn’t spin up a second lobby.
