Four games · one small app
Dual Play is Tic Tac Toe, Ludo, Dots and Boxes and Bagh-Bandi in one download. Play offline against bots that actually think, pass the phone to a friend, or pair 2–4 devices over Wi-Fi and talk while you play. No account. No feed. No clutter.
The line-up
Each one is the full game — not a demo. Every title plays solo against adjustable bots, two-player on a single device, or over local Wi-Fi.
9 levels · up to 11×11 · Infinity mode
A 9-level ladder that grows from 3×3 to an 11×11 board needing five in a row, each rung with its own named challenger. Flip on Infinity mode and your oldest mark vanishes on every move — so a draw is impossible. The top bot is perfect minimax and will never lose.
2–4 players · fair seating · house rules
The board-game night staple, tuned for phones. Two-player games seat you diagonally opposite for a fair race, empty Wi-Fi seats fill with bots, and house-rule toggles let you set how sixes and exact finishes work. The Hard bot spreads its tokens, guards blocks and hunts captures.
Small · Classic · Large boards
Join the dots, close a box, go again. Pick a quick 3×3, the standard 4×4, or a tactical 6×6 grid. The Hard bot isn't just greedy — it counts chains and plays the real double-cross, handing you two boxes to keep control of the endgame.
Tiger vs 7 Soldiers · asymmetric hunt
A traditional South Asian hunt game on a 13-point hourglass board. One side is the Tiger, leaping over Soldiers to eat them; the other is seven Soldiers trying to pen the Tiger until it can't move. Wildly different to play from each side. Hard bot runs alpha-beta minimax.
Why it feels good
Small download, no logins, and every mode you'd want for two people and a phone — or a room full of devices.
Every game does solo vs a bot, two-player pass-and-play on one device, and 2–4 players over Wi-Fi. Switch modes in a tap.
Easy, Medium and Hard tiers. Tic Tac Toe and Bagh-Bandi go all the way to alpha-beta minimax; Dots and Boxes plays real endgame theory.
Same Wi-Fi or a hotspot — devices just find each other. No room codes, no server, no accounts. The join list previews each match before you tap in.
Turn on in-match voice during any Wi-Fi game. It runs straight between your devices, the mic starts muted, and nothing is ever recorded.
Follow the system, or lock it light or dark. The whole app re-themes instantly — no restart, no flash.
A local profile, per-game win/loss records, streaks, match history and win confetti — all stored on your phone. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Local multiplayer
Three taps from "same room" to "playing and chatting". No internet required.
Any shared Wi-Fi network works — or have one player start a phone hotspot the others join. You never leave the local network.
The host picks the game and settings. Everyone else opens the same game and the host appears in a list, with the board and rules previewed.
Join and the match starts. Flip on voice chat from the top bar and you're playing and chatting, all over the local Wi-Fi.
Made in Dhaka
Dual Play is built and maintained by Md. Risul Islam Munna — a full-stack developer and founder of the e-commerce SaaS platform Bee Hook, with 7+ years shipping web and mobile products. Dual Play is his take on what a phone game collection should be: fast, private, and genuinely fun with people in the same room.
Good to know
Yes — free to download and play. It's supported by ads. There's no paid account, no subscription and no "premium" games locked away.
No. Playing a bot or passing one phone between two players is completely offline. Wi-Fi multiplayer needs the devices on the same Wi-Fi network or hotspot, but still no internet connection. Internet is only used to load ads.
No. Multiplayer moves and voice chat travel directly between devices on your local network. Only ads use data.
Your game profile, settings and match history stay on your device and are removed when you uninstall. The app does show ads via Google AdMob and collects anonymised usage and crash data via Google Firebase to fix bugs. The full breakdown is in the Privacy Policy.
Tic Tac Toe, Dots and Boxes and Bagh-Bandi are one or two players. Ludo is two to four. A local Wi-Fi room holds up to four devices.
Yes, during Wi-Fi matches. It's peer-to-peer over your Wi-Fi, the microphone starts muted, and audio is never stored or sent to a server.
Dual Play targets modern Android devices.
