MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
Walk: Click or tap any open patch of floor. Your avatar finds a route around the furniture.
Sit: Click an available chair. It is held for you while you walk over, and becomes occupied when you sit.
Chess: Sit at the same table as your opponent. Chair A plays White; chair B plays Black. The board opens when you sit. Click a piece and a highlighted square to move. Click any table to watch. Closing the board keeps your seat.
Casual chess rules: Castling, en passant, promotion, check and checkmate are supported. Threefold repetition and 50-move draws end automatically. There is no chess clock.
Leaving a game: Standing up, changing tables, or leaving the room ends an active game. A new opponent starts a fresh game. Both seated players must agree to a rematch.
Move again: Press Stand up, click the floor, or choose another empty chair. Your old chair becomes available.
Keyboard: Tab to a chair and press Enter or Space. Focus the room and use the arrow keys to walk. Escape closes an open board without standing up; outside dialogs it stands up or cancels your route.
Look around: Use the zoom controls, scroll the room, or swipe on a touch screen. The target icon centers the view on your avatar.
PULL UP A CHAIR. MAKE YOUR MOVE.
