Are there experiences for just one player?
Yes! Alien Strike is a great place to start and it has been specifically designed for one player. The Sun Runners series is also made up of a combination of one and two-player episodes.
Will playing the game use a lot of data?
Audioplay uses your WiFi network to make sure the audio on all the devices stays synchronized whilst you’re playing. After the initial download of the app and the episode you have chosen to play there is no further download required or data used. So no, playing the game won’t chew through your data.
Where should we play?
For each episode, we have suggested the type of space that best suits the experience but it’s up to you as to where you want to play. Remember you will need space to move around easily and you should always be mindful of any potential hazards in the space where you are playing.
How do I connect the second device for a 2 player episode?
If the episode you want to play requires more than 1 player then you will need one device for each player. Here is how you get the devices connected:
OPTION 1 – Select the same episode on both devices. Once you hit “Play” on both devices you will be taken to a holding screen where the devices will connect, enabling you to start the episode.
OPTION 2 – Select the episode you want to play on the first device, the second device can then select “Join a Friends Game” from the home screen. This will take you through to the same holding screen mentioned above, where the devices will connect, enabling you to start the episode.
Still not connecting?
Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and that you have the latest version of the app installed on both.
Do I need to purchase the same episode on all devices that are playing?
No. In order to play a premium episode only one of the devices needs to have purchased the episode. That device can then invite other devices to play the experience through the “JOIN A FRIEND’S GAME” button.
I don't get it, how do I play?
Audioplay is an interactive experience where you physically play as a character in the story. Once you have your props together, you and your friends pick a character each. Each player will hear their own distinct instructions. Follow along to the instructions/audio that you hear. It can be quite physical, so be ready to jump up and move. Be big, be bold and most importantly, have fun!
Can parents play too?
Yes! We love it when parents put on their headphones and play!
We don't have all the equipment, can we still play?
If you are missing one or two of the objects you can substitute with something else that you do have, just make sure that all players know what the object is meant to be in the story/instructions.
The game stopped mid-way through, whats going wrong?
Audioplay uses your WiFi network to make sure the audio on all the devices stays synchronized whilst you’re playing. If your WiFi signal is weak it can lead to drop-outs whilst playing. We recommend that you have the latest version of the app downloaded and if the WiFi is a persistent issue you can use a mobile phone to create a WiFi hotspot close to where you’re playing.
