It’s an incredibly fun game. But sweaty players tend to ruin it.

Meccha Chameleon has been steadily growing in player count since the game’s launch on Steam, and it’s mainly due to how much fun you can have with your friends. The core gameplay loop is simple as you’re divided into two groups. While one group tries their best to hide themselves, the other group members are tasked with finding them out.

While you can always matchmake with random players, playing with friends has a different layer of fun. Let’s first find out how many players can share the same lobby.

Interestingly, Meccha Chameleon doesn’t appear to have a fixed hard cap on how many players can join a session. However, the recommended limit is between two and ten players. The quality of a session depends on the host player and their internet connection.

Someone with a stronger connection can host a lobby with more players. However, this can cause issues with connectivity. If the host disconnects, the session will end immediately. Hence, you should always pick a host with good connectivity and stay under the 10-player lobby size.

How to play Meccha Chameleon with your friends

If you want to play in a pre-made group, one of you has to host a game and create a room. Once the room is ready, keep track of the room name, password, and other details. Make sure to keep the room set to private to prevent entry of random strangers.

Next, your friends will have to search for the room using the name. Then, they must enter the correct password to join the lobby. Once done, you can then start a fresh round. There are three different modes available in the current build of Meccha Champion. However, the process of beginning a fresh round is identical. When starting a round, the mode has to be selected by the host.
