Best Android Local Multiplayer Games

Let the games begin!

Minecraft

While Minecraft Bedrock Edition might lack some of the modding capabilities of its Java counterpart, it still delivers the classic LAN party experience, letting you connect multiple devices on a local network.

The Jackbox Party Pack Series

The king of party games, this series boasts a huge selection of quick, simple, and hilarious mini-games perfect for gatherings. Engage in trivia battles, online comment wars, comedic challenges, and even drawing duels! Multiple packs are available, so you can choose 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 exciting with a partner.

The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout

This strategic prison escape game is fun solo, but even more engaging when teaming up with friends for a cooperative challenge.

Badland

While enjoyable solo, this floaty physics platformer truly shines when played with friends on the same device, adding a unique and competitive dynamic.

Tsuro – The Game of the Path

A simple yet captivating tile-laying game where players guide their dragons along paths. Its easy-to-learn rules make it perfect for group gaming.

Terraria

Explore a vast open world, battle monsters, mine resources, and build settlements – all with your friends over Wi-Fi for an enhanced cooperative experience.

7 Wonders: Duel

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

Bombsquad

This collection of bomb-themed mini-games supports up to eight players over Wi-Fi. A companion app allows friends to use their own devices as controllers.

Spaceteam

If you haven't experienced Spaceteam, you're missing out! This chaotic sci-fi adventure involves plenty of shouting and frantic button-mashing.

BOKURA

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

DUAL!

A fun, if slightly absurd, two-device take on Pong. It's like tennis, but without the grunting.

Among Us
