Short answer: yes. BombSquad has multiplayer on mobile, and it is the reason most couples install it in the first place. Here is what playing together actually looks like, and what to expect before you both download it.
What kind of multiplayer BombSquad has
BombSquad is a party game, and it is a few silly rounds rather than a long session. BombSquad is an explosive mini-game party pack โ capture the flag, hockey, king of the hill and more โ powered by wonderfully floppy ragdoll physics. It is a great local couple game: share the screen or use your phones as gamepads and compete or team up in short, silly rounds.
Sessions run online, which is the part that matters for couples who are not always in the same place โ same game, two phones, wherever you both happen to be.
Playing it as two people
A lot of mobile multiplayer is built for big lobbies and reads as lonely with only two of you. BombSquad holds up better than most, for three reasons:
- Quick, chaotic rounds that are easy to pick up together.
- Guaranteed laughs make it a couple game-night favourite.
- Low stakes and high fun โ no experience required.
Those are the things worth checking in any multiplayer game before you both commit to it.
Getting into a session together
- Install BombSquad on both phones.
- Create a private room and share the code with your partner.
- Jump into quick rounds together.
- Agree roughly when you will play โ the games that stick are the ones with a slot, not the ones you both mean to open.
BombSquad is on both the App Store and Google Play, so it does not matter which of you is on iPhone and which is on Android.
If BombSquad is not the right fit
Multiplayer is not one thing, and a game that suits a full friend group can feel thin with two. If that is where you land, these are the closest alternatives in the same space:
- Stumble Guys โ Stumble Guys is a chaotic knockout party game where up to 32 players tumble through obstacle courses until one is left standing.
- Roblox โ Roblox is not one game but a whole universe of millions of player-made experiences โ obbies, roleplay, tycoons, horror and more.
- Plato โ Plato packs dozens of two-player and group games โ Ludo, dominoes, pool, word and strategy games โ into one social app with built-in chat.
