Best Android Local Multiplayer Games
Let's dive into the fun!
Minecraft
Minecraft Bedrock Edition may lack some of its Java counterpart's modding capabilities, but it still delivers classic LAN party fun. Connect your devices over a local network and get building!
The Jackbox Party Pack Series

Fotonica
Experience a fast-paced, slightly crazy auto-runner playable on a single device with a friend. It's thrilling solo, but even better with a pal!
The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout
Master the art of prison breaks in this strategic game. Play solo or team up with friends for an enhanced challenge.
Badland
While enjoyable alone, this floaty physics platformer truly shines with friends sharing the same device. It's a uniquely fun multiplayer experience.
Tsuro – The Game of the Path

BOKURA
Teamwork is key in this game. Communicate with your partner to conquer the levels.
DUAL!
A surprisingly fun two-device Pong experience. It's silly, but incredibly entertaining.
