About PlayAdda

PlayAdda is a small, independent site for playing the party games Indian families and friend groups love, directly in the browser. We started it because getting everyone onto the same app for a quick game of Tambola at a family function or a round of Ludo on a video call was harder than it should be: big downloads, accounts, coins and pop-ups.

What we believe

• Always free. Every game is free for every player. There are no coins, no paid upgrades and no real-money play. The site is paid for by advertising.
• No signup. You type a name and play. We do not ask for your email or phone number.
• Private by design. Games run between the players' own browsers. We run no game servers and do not store your games or chats.
• Fair play. Dice rolls, tickets and number order come from randomness contributed by every player, and every browser checks the result.

The games

We are starting with Tambola (Housie) and Ludo, two traditional games in the public domain. Snakes & Ladders, a five-in-a-row card and chip game, a word-guessing party game and Dumb Charades are next. All our games use original artwork, generic names and rules written by us; we are not affiliated with any app, publisher or trademark owner.
