About this game

When the bell rings… chaos begins.

Recess is a fast-paced multiplayer party game where classic playground games turn into all-out competition. Run, hide, throw, and outplay your friends across a variety of imaginative maps inspired by childhood memories.

Play online with up to 10 players, or bring friends together with up to 4 players on one screen — even in online matches. Whether you're teaming up or going head-to-head, every round is quick, chaotic, and full of unexpected moments.

Classic Games, Reimagined

Each match rotates through different playground favorites — simple rules, unpredictable outcomes, nonstop chaos.

  • Tag – Don’t be “it” when the clock hits zero.

  • Freeze Tag – Free your teammates before everyone gets iced.

  • Hide and Seek – Stay hidden… or hunt them all down.

  • Sardines – One hides. Everyone searches. It gets crowded fast.

  • Capture the Flag – Steal it. Defend it. Don’t get caught.

  • More

Every round is quick. Every round matters. Every round changes the leaderboard.

Childhood Worlds Come to Life

Compete across colorful arenas inspired by places you remember — and some you only imagined.

  • A lively school

  • A colorful playground

  • A chaotic shopping mall

  • A mysterious abandoned factory

  • A playful indoor play place

  • A rustic summer camp

  • More

Each map changes how you play, offering new strategies and surprises.

Make It Yours

Customize your character’s colors and style before jumping into the chaos. Stand out on the playground and make sure everyone knows exactly who just tagged them.

Play Your Way

  • Online Multiplayer – Up to 10 Players
