FAQs

An Access Pass grants you access to play the online game on one screen. It is your choice how you play the game.

For example, a household might purchase one Access Pass to play at home on their computer or mirrored to their television. You can also form a team of multiple players from different households, purchase one Access Pass and play over Zoom with one person (the Access Pass holder) sharing their screen.

Alternatively, for players from multiple households who would like a more hands-on approach to the game, they might choose to each purchase an Access Pass and play along with each other over video chat as a team.
