Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play Puffer Party on this page?
Enter your diver nickname and click Start Dive. When it's your turn, the central pufferfish swims to your seat with a ticking countdown. Quickly type a valid word fitting the active category and press Enter to pass the puffer. If the timer runs out on your turn, the puffer explodes and you lose a heart life.
Do I have to wait for other players to join?
No. This arena features instant AI Bot Matchmaking. You are immediately matched with three distinct computer contestants (Shelly the Turtle, Barnaby the Krill, and Finley the Fish) who think, type, and react with realistic delays.
How do the pufferfish inflation stages work?
The pufferfish transitions across five visual stages: Stage 0 (calm), Stage 1 (swelling), Stage 2 (spines erect), and Stage 3 (violent shaking with red alarm). If zero seconds remain, it detonates with a freeze effect.
