Board games, card games and dice games. Prizes are only ever on games of skill, where the better kontestant wins. More are on the way.

All the rules

Koins

Koins are Kontest’s in-app currency. Use them in the store and to unlock in-app features. Every game is free to enter, prize games included.

Earn them free

Every game you finish counts towards achievements, and every tier pays Koins.

Win prizes

Prize games, put up by Kontest and its sponsors and free to enter, pay the winners in Koins.

Never money

Koins have no cash value. They can’t be withdrawn, sold or exchanged for money, only gifted between friends, within limits.

Questions

What is Kontest?
Kontest runs competitions. Play board, card and dice games with friends in a group chat, run tournaments, and watch games live on Kontest TV.
Can I run a tournament for my club, campus or company?
Yes, free, in your group chat: tap Play, choose Tournament, pick one of our games and a format (a knockout, double elimination, round robin, Swiss, or groups then a knockout) and tick who plays. Share its link and whoever joins comes into the group too.
Is Kontest free?
Yes, to play. Every game is free to enter: nobody pays Koins to play and nobody stakes anything on a result. Koins are earned by playing; you can also buy them, and Kash for the store. Koins have no cash value and can never be withdrawn, so Kontest is not gambling.
Which games can I play?
Chess, draughts, Ayo, Whot, Ludo, Snakes & Ladders, tic-tac-toe and rock paper scissors, against friends or KBot. More games are on the way.
Where can I play?
In any browser at kontest.games, on a phone or a computer, and in the Kontest app for Android and iPhone. Add it to your home screen to get notifications.
