Holding Hands
A game about holding hands, and winning
Yes, it's happened, it's here they didn't lie to you. Massively-multiplayer arm wrestling. I know, I know. We've all been waiting. And it's here.
This game is built on HappyFunTimes - The way this game works in this - you need 1 computer to run the game. Smart phones are the controllers. To connect a phone to the game, you just need to be on the same WIFI as the computer.
Then go to happyfuntimes.net on your phone to play.
Your phone will show you the team you're on with the color it turns (teams are chosen automatically). Theoretically, an infinite number of players can play, but more likely it'll be limited by your router to around 50 people. Still, that's a lot of arm power.

It's a very novel concept (at least for me) and it's cool to think all the different ways this could be used. The arm wrestling game here is simple, but I think suits well for a party game of sorts. The sound effects are fun and add to the party game feel. Of course, an offline mode could be a pretty crazy option to have, imagine half a dozen people on the same keyboard.
Hey there! Thanks! Actually it does have offline, of sorts - as long as you're on the same wifi, you can add as many people with smartphones as you want, so there's no need for a keyboard even! Everyone gets their own controller on their phone. It's hard to show in a screencap video, but I've placed browser windows emulating what people will see on their phones to illustrate this.
Yeah, of course the phones on the same wifi is the idea there.
