How to play tic-tac-toe online with a friend

Open JoinPal, choose Tic-tac-toe and a friend as your opponent, then send your friend the invitation link. The game starts as soon as they accept, on the classic 3 × 3 board or the bigger 5 × 5 board. It is free, and there is nothing to install.

Step by step

  1. Open JoinPal

    Tap Play on this page or open @Joinpalbot in Telegram. JoinPal opens in a few seconds on your phone or computer.

  2. Choose Tic-tac-toe

    Tap Tic-tac-toe on the home screen and choose a friend as your opponent. Pick X or O and the board size.

  3. Invite your friend

    Tap Invite a friend and send the one-time link, or tap Invite next to someone you have played before: they get the invitation in the app straight away.

  4. Play

    When your friend accepts, take turns marking empty squares. After each round you can play again, and the marks swap.

The rules in short

X always moves first. Get three of your marks in a row on the 3 × 3 board, or four in a row on the 5 × 5 board, across, down or diagonally. If the board fills up without a line, the round is a draw.
