About DashLink Gaming
A home base for people who play together.
DashLink Gaming is an independent project that brings the social side of gaming into one place: quick multiplayer games, chat, squad matching and watch parties — free for everyone.
Why we built it
Most gamers juggle a chat app, a streaming site, a game client and a spreadsheet of friends’ usernames just to play together. We wanted a single, lightweight place where you can jump into a game in seconds, talk while you play and find people who play the same titles.
We started with two timeless games — Tic-Tac-Toe and Checkers — because they are easy to learn and endlessly replayable. Our games list also brings in other titles imported from the RAWG.io database and FreeToGame so you can meet players and form squads around the games you already love, even when they are played elsewhere.
What we promise
DashLink is free. We may show ads to cover hosting costs, but we do not sell your personal data, we ask before using analytics or advertising cookies, and we explain exactly what we collect in our Privacy Policy. We would rather grow slowly and honestly than inflate numbers — the stats on our home page are live counts, not estimates.
Real games, in your browser
Tic-Tac-Toe and Checkers run in real time with every move validated on our server — no downloads, no cheating by editing the page.
Chat built for players
Per-game and per-room chat with emojis and voice dictation, so you can talk tactics without leaving the board.
Find your squad
Looking for Squad matching, instant invites and Favourites help random matches become regular teammates.
Watch together
Drop a Twitch or YouTube link into any room and everyone watches side by side with the chat.
Leaderboards
Global and per-game rankings reward wins in our built-in games.
Safe by default
Email verification for multiplayer, hashed passwords, secure sign-in cookies and clear community rules.
