Let the game
start smoothly.
Answers to the questions that might come up before your first match.
Do I need to download anything?
There is no separate Happy Games app to install. Full games open inside Telegram; the website demos work in your browser.
Which games can I play now?
Checkers, Backgammon, Giveaway Checkers, Tic-Tac-Toe, Dominoes and Corners. Chess is a future direction we are exploring.
Can I try a game before opening Telegram?
Yes. Each game page has an interactive example. You can also play a full local game of 3×3 Tic-Tac-Toe on this website.
How do I open the game I have chosen?
Select “Play in Telegram”, open Happy Games and choose the game in the catalogue. Invitations to a specific shared match are created inside the game.
The bot opened, but I cannot see a board.
On your first visit, select Start and then the button that launches Happy Games. An ordinary message in the bot chat is not the game board.
My friend reached the catalogue instead of my match.
Send the invitation created inside that specific game. The main bot link opens the catalogue, but does not join your match.
My invitation no longer works.
The match may have ended or been cancelled. Create a new game and a fresh invitation. Do not reuse an old match link for a different game.
The demo is not moving.
Select “Next move” or the highlighted item. Start automatic playback with “Play animation”. If JavaScript is disabled, you can still read the rules and follow the Telegram links.
How do I turn off animation?
Use “Pause motion” on the homepage. You can pause a demo with its pause button. The site also respects your system’s reduced-motion setting.
Can I play on a computer?
The website and demos adapt to desktop screens. For full games, open Happy Games in your Telegram client. If that client cannot launch the game, use an up-to-date Telegram app on your phone.
