Support & FAQ

Body Soda requires a minimum of 4 players and supports up to 10 players. If you have fewer than 4 real players, the host can add bots in the lobby to fill up the room.

Yes. Body Soda uses peer-to-peer WiFi networking — all devices must be connected to the same local network (home WiFi, office WiFi, or a mobile hotspot will all work).

The game does not work over mobile data alone. If you want to play across locations, all players can tether to one person's mobile hotspot.

1. Open Body Soda and tap Host Game.
2. Enter your name and choose the number of rounds (1–20).
3. Tap Create Room. A 6-character room code appears.
4. Share that code with the other players.
5. When everyone has joined, tap Start Game.

1. Make sure you're on the same WiFi network as the host.
2. Open Body Soda and tap Join Game.
3. Enter your name and the 6-character room code the host shared.
4. Tap Join Room. You'll appear in the host's lobby.

• Confirm both devices are on the same WiFi network (check the network name in each phone's WiFi settings).
• If your WiFi has "client isolation" or "AP isolation" enabled (common on guest or public WiFi), devices on the same network can't see each other. Use a different network or a mobile hotspot.
• Re-enter the 6-character room code carefully — check for O/0 and I/1 typos.
• Ask the host to restart the game (Leave → Host Game again) to generate a new code.

Body Soda keeps the screen awake during a match (via wake-lock) so this shouldn't happen in normal use. If you manually lock your phone mid-round, the app will detect the resume and send a catch-up heartbeat automatically.

If you were away for more than 90 seconds, the host may have already flagged you as disconnected. Ask the host to restart the match.

This usually means your "join" message was dropped. Tap the back arrow to leave, then try joining again with the same code. If the issue persists, ask the host to restart.

• Check your phone's volume (media volume, not ringer).
• In Body Soda, tap Settings and make sure Sound Effects and/or Background Music are enabled.
• If some effects play but others don't, try closing and reopening the app.

Ads load over the internet. If your device has no internet connection, or your network blocks Google AdMob, ads won't appear — but the game itself is fully playable without them. This is normal on a LAN-only setup.
