About Recess
Recess is a multiplayer party game where you compete in playground games across imaginative maps. Run, hide, throw and outplay other players in quick rounds, playing online with up to 10 players or with up to 4 players on one screen. Local players can join online matches, and you can team up or compete against one another.
Playground games
Matches rotate through playground favorites with simple rules and unpredictable outcomes:
- Tag: avoid being “it” when the clock hits zero.
- Freeze Tag: free your teammates before everyone is frozen.
- Hide and Seek: hide from the others or hunt them down.
- Sardines: one player hides while everyone else searches.
- Capture the Flag: steal the flag, defend it and avoid getting caught.
Rounds change the leaderboard, as points accumulate and rivalries grow.
Arenas
Compete in colorful arenas inspired by familiar and imagined places. The maps include a school, a playground, a shopping mall, an abandoned factory, an indoor play place and a summer camp. Each map offers different strategies and surprises.
Character customization
Before a match, you can customize your character’s colors and style.
