FAQ
Find answers to common questions about playing on trindogames. For game-specific rules and advice, visit our strategy guides.
Do I need an account?
No. You can play without registering, providing an email address or creating a password. No app installation is required.
Is trindogames free?
Yes. All games are free to play, with no advertisements or in-app purchases.
How do I play with a friend?
Open a two-player game and choose Play with a friend. Share the private room’s invite link so your friend can join from their browser. You can also join a room using its eight-character code or return through Your recent tables while the room still exists.
How does Find opponent work?
Find opponent connects you with a player already waiting for the same game. If no one is waiting, it creates a room and keeps you in the queue until another player joins. A match depends on another player being available.
Can I practice without an opponent?
Yes. Every two-player game offers Practice with computer at Easy and Normal levels. Chess, Checkers, Four in a Row, Gomoku and Reversi also offer Hard opponents and guided tutorials. Undo returns to the start of your previous turn, including the computer’s responses. Restart practice begins a new game; reloading the page resets the practice session.
Are there single-player games?
Yes. Play Solitaire, FreeCell, Sudoku, 2048 or Minesweeper. Solo progress is saved in the browser you use. Clearing site data or switching browsers or devices will not carry that progress over.
How do daily challenges and leaderboards work?
The daily challenges offer the same Sudoku puzzle, FreeCell deal and Minesweeper field to everyone, changing at midnight UTC. Completing at least one challenge extends your locally saved daily streak. Set a display name to submit eligible results to the daily or weekly leaderboards; your name and result will be visible to other visitors.
What happens if my connection drops?
The site automatically retries a temporary connection failure. You can refresh or reopen a recent room in the same browser while it still exists. Opening the same saved seat in another tab transfers control to that tab. Clearing browser storage removes the token needed to restore your seat.
Can I play with a clock?
Private rooms for Chess, Checkers, Four in a Row, Gomoku and Reversi offer 3 minutes + 2 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes + 5 seconds or 15 minutes + 10 seconds. Choose a time control before creating the room. The first move is not charged; after play begins, running out of time loses the game. Find opponent matches are untimed.
What if my opponent leaves mid-game?
If your opponent remains disconnected for 60 seconds after a game has started, Claim the win becomes available. Select it to end the game as a win. In timed games, the clock continues to run during a disconnection.
How long do rooms last?
Rooms expire 24 hours after their last game action or connection change. Once a room expires, its game state and move history are deleted and it cannot be reopened.
Can my opponent see my hand or my ships?
Your opponent receives only the information their seat is allowed to see. Card hands, an uncounted crib and unhit Naval Battle ships remain hidden until the rules reveal them. Computer opponents also use only information available to their own seat.
Who can see my display name?
Your display name is visible to your multiplayer opponent and, when you submit a score, to leaderboard visitors. Use a name that does not contain personal or sensitive information.
What information does trindogames process?
The service uses browser storage for preferences and progress, temporary server records for multiplayer rooms, and server-side leaderboard records for submitted scores. It also uses aggregate game counters, Vercel Web Analytics and technical data for abuse prevention. See the Privacy Policy for details.
How do I report a problem or send feedback?
