Race a Real Person, Right Now

No lobby, no friends required. Join the queue and get matched with another player on the same deal, at the same moment.

Join the Queue

One tap, one opponent

Hit the Arena queue and we match you with whoever else is looking. You both get the identical deal and the same countdown — then it's a straight race. One game, one result. Win or lose, you can re-queue immediately for another.

Arena Hour

Everyone shows up at once

A nightly window when the queue is busiest — 7 PM Arizona time, shown in your own local time in the app. If you want a match without waiting, that's when to turn up. Arena works in both MSO FreeCell Arena and MSO Minesweeper Arena.

Play Together, Compete Head-to-Head

Create a lobby, share the code, and everyone plays the same board at the same time.

Create or Join

One code, instant lobby

Create a private lobby and share a 6-character code with friends. Pick casual or hardcore mode, choose a difficulty, and you're ready. Works in both FreeCell and Minesweeper.

Synchronized Start

3... 2... 1... Go

Everyone sees the same countdown. Same seed, same difficulty, same starting moment. No advantages — pure skill comparison. A session leaderboard tracks results across rounds.

Challenge Anyone, Anywhere

No lobby needed. Just share a link.

  • Every game generates a shareable challenge link
  • Friends play the exact same seed and see how they compare
  • Per-seed leaderboard ranks everyone who played that deal
  • Asynchronous — play on your own time, results update live

Your Records Are Never Safe

Set a record, and someone will come for it. You'll know when they do.

The Challenge

Someone targets your record

When another player challenges your seed, you get notified. If they beat you, you see exactly how — metrics, head-to-head record, and the option to reclaim or escalate.

The Outcome

Dethroned — or defended

Every dethronement shows a full metrics comparison: efficiency, moves, time, 3BV/s. Reclaim your record on the same seed, or escalate to a new battlefield. The rivalry tracks your head-to-head history.
