LAN Party for Windows

What this experience is about

Lan Party brings the buzz of an in-person gaming meetup into a virtual environment. It’s a social simulation where friends gather in a shared digital room, watch each other play, and hang out together—recreating the camaraderie of a local LAN session without needing to be in the same house.

Design your hangout

Create a custom shared space by choosing layout, lighting, and furniture that suit your group’s vibe—whether a minimalist modern loft or a nostalgic retro den. The editor lets you arrange décor and set atmosphere so every room feels distinct and inviting.

Make a character that fits

Each player can pick or upload a fully customizable avatar, tweak proportions, select animations, and equip emotes to communicate personality and mood. Avatars act as your presence in the room and help convey reactions during matches or watch parties.

Shared streaming and media playback

Stream any game running on your PC to a communal virtual screen so everyone watches the same moment at once. The system supports multiple simultaneous feeds, letting players highlight their own gameplay on individual screens or switch focus between feeds. It also plays videos and event streams, turning the space into a multimedia lounge.

Communication, events, and competition

Built-in voice and text channels let groups plan tactics, banter, or narrate highlights in real time. Organizers can run tournaments with brackets and spectator-mode overlays for live matches, while casual groups can launch pickup games or collaborative sessions on the fly.

Community content and customization

An in-app marketplace hosts player-created assets—new avatars, furniture packs, decorations—so rooms can continually evolve with community-made items and seasonal additions.

Social features beyond gaming

The platform supports more than matches: celebrate birthdays with themed decorations, host trivia or mini-games embedded in the environment, or use the room as a virtual co-op workspace for creative projects.

Known constraint

The experience relies on an internet connection for most features, so offline capabilities are limited.
