Constraints: The Password Rules Game, Multiplayer

How to play Constraints

1. Make a room. Type your name, tap Create a room and send the five-character code (or the link) to your friends. Phones and laptops can share a room.
2. Everyone makes up a password (a fun one, never a real one) and types it in their own box. Nobody else sees it.
3. Two rules come first. A new rule comes out every few seconds, the same for everyone, until all of them are out. Your password has to follow every rule at once, so a new rule can break the old ones.
4. Ticks show which rules your password follows right now. The table shows how many rules each player follows, never their password.
5. Once every rule is out and your password follows all of them, tap Lock it in. The first to lock in wins; the others get 20 seconds to finish too. If nobody does, whoever follows the most rules when time runs out wins.
