A game to play on a Discord call, with no screen share

Most "Discord games" mean one person shares a screen while everyone else watches or types. In Rubble Rally everyone plays on their own device: paste one link in the chat and up to 8 friends are racing together within a minute.

A kart drives beside a street painted in yellow, purple, green and blue lanes — Paint the Town: every kart sprays its own colour.

Why it works on a call

Everyone plays. No screen share and no lag from watching a stream.
One link in the chat. Create a party, paste the link in the Discord text channel and friends click it. It opens in the browser.
No install. The friend on a phone and the friend on a gaming PC are in the same game.
Something to shout about. Who moved on red? Who rammed the wrong bin? Who dropped a boulder on whom? It is a game made for voice chat.

How to set it up

Join the voice channel as usual.
One person opens the game and creates a party.
Paste the party link (it looks like rubble-rally.vercel.app/p/ABCD) in the text channel.
Everyone clicks it, picks a racer and readies up.

Keep Discord running for voice; the game has its own sound, and you can switch the game music off in the pause menu.

Rounds that are best on voice

Hide & Seek: disguised as bins, trying not to laugh.
Red Light, Green Light: the arguments write themselves.
Zombie Tag: the zombies start coordinating, and the humans start panicking.
Musical Parking: one bay too few, and somebody always gets rammed out.
The Getaway: the knocked-out players team up as Wreckers to stop the leaders.

Two finalists race down a desert road in The Getaway while knocked-out players watch as Wreckers — The Getaway: two finalists left, six Wreckers dropping rubble.

Group size and length

A party holds up to 8 players. With fewer, bots fill the seats. A round takes about a minute and a full Show about ten, so you can play one Show or keep going all night. It works just as well on FaceTime, Zoom, a WhatsApp group call or in the same room.
