How to Play Machine Party

Start a Machine Party session

Decide whether the group is online or in the same room. For couch co-op, connect inputs, open Local, and choose Original, Custom, or Arcade before players join the lobby.

Read the objective and controls at the start of each simulation. Machine Party is a collection of party games, so the winning action can change from one round to the next.

Learn rounds without losing the group

Use the first attempt to identify the objective, important signals, and one failure condition. Keep callouts short enough that every player can still hear the game.

After a loss, name one confirmed lesson and change one decision. This is faster than inventing a complicated strategy from a single result.
