Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can play at once?

Up to 6 players can join a single ColorClash room. Each player gets a unique color to paint the grid with.

Do I need to download anything?

No! ColorClash runs entirely in your browser. Just create a room, share the link with friends, and start playing instantly. Works on desktop, tablet, and phone.

How long does a round last?

Each round is a fast 90-second sprint. The player with the most painted tiles when time runs out wins. Quick enough for "just one more game."

What does line-lock mean?

When you paint 4 or more tiles in a straight line (horizontally or vertically), those tiles become permanently locked. No one can paint over them — they're yours for good. This adds a layer of strategy: build walls, cut off opponents, and defend key zones.

What power-ups are available?

Three power-ups spawn randomly on the grid every 15 seconds. Bomb paints a 3×3 area, Shield protects your tiles for 5 seconds, and Freeze stops an opponent for 2 seconds.
