Top Android Local Multiplayer Games

Let's get gaming!

Minecraft

Minecraft Bedrock Edition might lack some of its Java counterpart's modding capabilities, but it still delivers classic LAN party fun. Connect multiple devices on a local network for cooperative adventures.

The Jackbox Party Pack Series

The ultimate party game series. The Jackbox Party Packs offer a wealth of quick, simple, and hilarious mini-games perfect for gatherings. Expect quizzes, online-style arguments, comedy challenges, and even drawing battles. Multiple packs are available, so find your favorites!

Fotonica

A fast-paced, slightly crazy auto-runner playable on a single device with a friend. It's thrilling on its own, but even more intense with a partner.

The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout

A strategic prison escape game. Play solo or team up with friends for a more exciting challenge.

Badland

While enjoyable solo, this floaty physics platformer truly shines with multiple players on the same device. The added element of teamwork creates a unique and engaging experience.

Tsuro – The Game of the Path

A simple yet engaging tile-laying game where players create paths for their dragons. Easy to learn, perfect for groups.

Terraria

Explore, battle monsters, and build settlements – together! Enjoy the massive open world with friends via Wi-Fi.

7 Wonders: Duel

A polished digital adaptation of the popular card game. Play against AI, online, or locally with a friend using pass-and-play.

Bombsquad

Up to eight players can enjoy this collection of bomb-themed mini-games over Wi-Fi. A companion app allows friends to use their own devices as controllers.

Spaceteam

A sci-fi adventure demanding teamwork and plenty of shouting. If you haven't played it, you're missing out!

BOKURA

Teamwork is key in this game. Communicate with your partner to conquer the levels.

DUAL!

A surprisingly fun two-device version of Pong. It's silly, but incredibly entertaining.
