Meccha Chameleon Private Lobby Guide

Private rooms are the best way to learn the game because everyone can laugh, retry, and build a meta together.

Quick answer

Create a room, make it private, share the room name and password with friends, and keep everyone on the same game version. Pick a host with the strongest connection because the room depends on the host staying online.

Private lobby setup

Start from the multiplayer menu, create a room, and choose private visibility if you only want invited players. Share the room details through Discord, chat, or voice call.

If friends cannot join, first check that everyone updated the game. Version mismatch is a boring problem, but it wastes the most time.

Best settings for groups

Small groups work best with standard hide-and-seek or Double mode. Larger groups can use Increasing Oni because caught Hiders joining the Seeker side keeps the round moving.

If the lobby is new, avoid punishing timers. Let players learn painting and map layout before turning the room into a speed test.

FAQ

Can friends join directly from a Steam invite?

Some groups use Steam and room details together. If direct joining fails, share the room name and password manually.

What happens if the host disconnects?

The session can end, so the host should be the player with the most stable connection.

What is the best group size?

Two to ten players is the safest range for stable, readable rounds.
