A conversation with a stranger does not start with “hello”. It starts with something to do together — which is what the games are.
On YouPlanet the game and the conversation are the same thing: an invite arrives as a card in your messages and is accepted there, so the person you play is the person you are talking to. Ludo runs on a two- or four-seat board, the quiz on a live two-player queue. Games are the only part behind a sign-in; Explore and the profiles are open.
The invite card sits inside the conversation and is accepted there. No separate screen, no code to pass around.
A Ludo table with a free chair shows up on the games tab and anybody can sit down. A chair still empty at the deal is played by a bot.
The quiz never pairs you with a bot. If nobody is there at that moment you stay in the queue, and you are called when somebody is.
Who may open a conversation, read receipts on or off, the skin of the thread — and report and block from inside it.
Yes. Talking and playing are free. What is sold here is visibility, not access.
No. Every conversation is between two accounts and every message has an owner. Anonymous chat means harassment nobody can act on.
Because a score and its coins belong to an account, and a result has to be recorded somewhere. Reading a post needs none of that, so it stays open.
Yes, from inside the thread. A block cuts both directions and closes the game invites too.
