Play with a Friend in Sansad Showdown: Room Codes Explained
How multiplayer works in Sansad Showdown: hosting a room, sharing the code, joining a friend, and running a fair best of series between two phones.
CONTENTS On this page
Solo bouts teach the game, but Sansad Showdown official site was built for arguments between friends. The Play with a Friend mode connects two phones with a short room code and nothing else: no accounts, no friend lists, no setup screens. This guide covers hosting, joining and running a proper series.
Hosting a room
From the home screen, tap Play with a Friend and choose the host option. The game shows a short code of letters and numbers. That code is the whole lobby: send it to your friend by message, call it out across the room, or write it on the nearest notebook like it is 1999.
While you wait, stay on the host screen. When your friend joins, the bout setup proceeds to fighter selection. Pick your main, let them pick theirs, and press Fight. The first round teaches both of you the connection rhythm in seconds.
Joining a friend room
Choose Play with a Friend, then the join option, and type the code exactly as it was shared. Codes are short but unforgiving: one wrong character means no room. If a join fails, the usual causes are a mistyped code or a host who has already closed the room.
Both phones need an internet connection for the room to meet. If the code keeps failing, host a fresh room and share the new code; stale rooms are the second most common cause. More connection fixes live in the not working fixes guide.
Running a fair series
Agree the format before the first bout: best of three rounds per match, first to three matches, loser may switch fighters, winner stays on their pick. House rules sound formal until the second disputed rematch, at which point they become law you are grateful for.
Rotate the stage of the argument, not just the fighters: run a Yatra Boy versus Mitraman card, then a heavyweight card, then a random pick round. Variety keeps a series friendly and teaches both players the roster. Our Sansad Showdown tier list is excellent fuel for the argument about which card is fair.
Room etiquette, briefly
Share codes only with people you mean to play. If a session ends, close the room rather than leaving codes floating around group chats. And when you win with the potato machine, one screenshot is celebration; five is a declaration of war.
That is genuinely the whole system. Ten seconds of setup, sixty seconds a round, and a fake newspaper at the end to certify the result for the group chat record.
