Everything you need for a great Ludo game
Rooms with friends
Create a room, then share the 6-letter code or the invite link on WhatsApp, Messenger or anywhere else.
Play online
Get matched with other players in 2 or 4 player games. Empty seats can be filled with computer players so you never wait long.
Voice chat
Tap the mic to talk with everyone in your room. A green glow shows who is speaking, and you can mute anyone.
Chat, funny emojis and sounds
Send messages and 12 animated reactions with funny sounds, or tap a player's picture to throw a tomato, egg or bomb at them. The computer players answer back too.
Smart computer players
Play against 1 to 3 computer players on Easy or Smart level. The Smart level captures, escapes danger and plans ahead.
Accounts and leaderboard
Play as a guest, or sign in with Google or email to save your wins, captures and win rate and climb the leaderboard.
Classic and Quick modes
Classic needs all 4 tokens home. Quick starts with 2 tokens on the board and needs only 2 home, for 10-minute games.
Your game is saved if you leave
Left by mistake or lost signal? Your tokens stay on the board. The computer moves for you after 15 seconds, and you can come back from the menu before 5 missed turns.
Works on any device
Runs in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Android, iPhone, tablets and computers, with a full-screen mode for phones.

Quick tips to win more Ludo games
- Get at least two tokens out early. One token on the board gives you no choices when you roll.
- Park on star squares and coloured start squares when an opponent is up to 6 squares behind you. Tokens there cannot be captured.
- When you roll a 6, think before leaving home: capturing or escaping danger is often worth more than a new token.
- Count the squares behind your token. If an opponent is 1 to 6 squares away, that token is in danger on their next roll.
- Do not race one token home while the others sit in the yard. Spread your progress so every roll has a good use.
- Online, play within 15 seconds: after 5 auto moves in a row you are removed from the game.
Frequently asked questions
Is Ludo Live free?
Yes. Every mode is free, with no download and no in-game purchases.
Do I need an account to play?
No. You can play every mode as a guest. A free account (Google or email) saves your wins, captures and win rate and puts you on the leaderboard. The same account also works in ChatterNest on this site.
How do I play Ludo with friends online?
Tap Play with Friends, choose 2, 3 or 4 players and tap Create room. Share the room code or invite link. Friends open the link or type the code under Join room, then the host taps Start game.
How does voice chat work?
Tap the microphone button and allow microphone access in your browser. Voice goes directly between the players' browsers. You can mute your own mic, turn off everyone's voice, or mute one player by tapping their picture.
What happens if someone leaves or loses connection?
Your game is saved. Each turn has 15 seconds; if a player does not move in time, the computer makes the move for them. After 5 missed turns in a row that player is removed. If you leave or lose connection, open Ludo Live again and tap Back to your online game before your 5 turns run out. If the host leaves, another player becomes host automatically.
What are the rules?
Roll a 6 to bring a token out. Move clockwise and then up your coloured lane to the centre. Landing on an opponent sends it home. Star squares and start squares are safe. A 6, a capture or a token reaching home gives another roll, and three 6s in a row lose the turn.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It works in the browser on Android and iPhone. Tap the full-screen button for the best view. If voice does not work inside Facebook or Messenger, open the link in Chrome or Safari.
