Frequently Asked Questions

No, you can play as a guest. Signing in takes one tap with Google, Facebook, or your Bluesky handle, and it unlocks private games with friends.

detroit.games is ad-supported so you can play without paying.

If you let us match ads to your region they are worth more, which is what keeps the site free. Declining locks nothing: the whole game works either way.

Solo mode lets you play a full game against bots any time. No waiting required. In multiplayer, bots automatically fill any empty seats so a game can always get started.

The rules page walks through bidding, trump, bowers, and scoring in writing. If you would rather learn by playing, turn on Learning Mode when creating a solo game. The first hand explains every decision as you play, and from the second hand onward you can request a hint with a Show Me button. Learning Mode is solo only so you can take your time without slowing down other players.

When creating a game, you choose whether it's public or private. Right from the game setup screen you can send a direct invite to a friend.

Once you're in a game, friends who are online will get an in-game notification. For friends who are offline, you can share an invite code and a full URL they can open to join when they're ready.
