## Step by step

### 1. Choose a game

Find the game you want to play together. Its card has Play for a solo round, and a button for playing with others — here, Race.

*Step 1: Choose a game*

### 2. Race

Press Race. Your friend does the same, on their own phone or computer — the same game, and the same mode — and HTT Fun puts you in the same room.

*Step 2: Race*

### 3. The lobby

Everyone who has joined is on the scoreboard. When you are ready, press I am ready. The game starts the moment everybody is.

### 4. Race to answer

You both get the same questions, against the same clock. Answer fast — the quicker you are, the more points you score.

*Step 4: Race to answer*

### 5. The scoreboard

The scoreboard updates after every question, so you always know who is ahead. Some games are head-to-head instead — just two players, taking turns.
