Ways These Games Play

Sports games use real-world skills: aim, timing, speed, and control. You play short matches with clear rules on a field, court, lane, or course. Win by outscoring an opponent or hitting a set target. Good form and quick adjustments matter most.

Aim & Release

Choose an angle, set power, and release. Small tweaks beat brute force. You’ll see this in Archery and Mini Golf. Basketball uses a tap-and-swipe shot; Quick Draw rewards a calm, fast release.

Frames & Holes Scoring

Some games use fixed sets and total points decide the winner. Bowling uses 5 or 10 frames; Mini Golf uses 3 or 5 holes. Steady play and quick recoveries beat one lucky turn.

Pocket & Carrom-Style Games

Sink balls or discs before your rival. In Pool, control the cue ball and follow simple shot patterns. In Carrom, make clean flicks, take the queen at the right time, and cover to finish. Each turn is about angle, speed, and touch.

Target & Ring Scoring

Hit high-value rings. Closer to the center usually means a higher score.

Disc Flick & Shuffleboard

Flick discs into your scoring zones and protect your points. In Disc-O, each disc that stays scores one; bonus zones multiply it. Heavier discs matter—use knock-backs, blocking, and smart last shots.

Great games

We build and curate all our games in house, from classics like Chess to Plato originals like Match Monsters. Each game is easy to learn and fun with friends. Chat is part of the experience, not an afterthought.

Real players

We match you against people, not bots. Public queues seat you quickly with others who want to play now, while private tables are for your crew via an invite link. No fake multiplayer tricks — just real matches with chat next to the game.

No ads

Plato does not run ads. No pop-ups and no video breaks. Nothing cuts into a match or a chat. We also avoid tracking you don't need, so you open a game and play without commercials in the way.

No pay-to-win

Plato does not sell gameplay advantages. Shop items are cosmetic — for looks and flair, not for power. If you win, it is because you and your team played well, not because you bought an edge.

Can I play online?

Yes. Install the Plato app on iOS, Android, or macOS to play the full catalog with friends or matchmade opponents. You can also play Ocho online in your web browser — no install needed.

Can I play with friends?

Yep. Tap Create Private Game, then share the invite link or invite from your contacts. When they tap Accept, they're seated at your table.

Is it free?

Yes — free to play and ad-free. If you buy something, it's for looks (themes, profile flair), not power.

Is it fair?

Shuffles, deals, dice, and timers run on Plato servers, not your device. Everyone plays by the same rules and no one can peek at hidden information.

Is it safe?

You can block and report from profiles or chat. Public spaces use filters and human review. Some rooms use Chat Pass to deter spam, and privacy controls let you limit who sees you online.

Live vs. turn-based: what’s the difference?

Both are turn-taking; the difference is the clock. Live uses short timers for quick back-and-forth. Turn-based gives you longer — often up to 24 hours per move in games like Chess — so you can play at your pace.
