Gaming chat: talk games, and play a round while you do
By HearMe Chat · Last updated
Gaming chat on HearMe Chat lets you play 4 two-player games inside any one-to-one text chat while you talk about the ones you play for real. Open Games, pick one, and the other person has a short time to say yes. Finding fellow players is looser: add your game as an interest tag, and for the first 20 seconds we look for someone with the same tag. No sign-up, no camera, free for adults 18 and over.
Challenge, accept, play
Open Games in the text chat, pick a game, and the other person sees an invite. They accept or decline, and an invite that gets no answer lapses after a short wait. A chat holds one game and one waiting invite, so a second invite while one is open is refused, and so is a new game while one is being played. If an invite is declined three times, invites pause in that chat for a couple of minutes.
When a game ends, either of you can ask for a rematch, and the other chooses. Either of you can also leave a game early with Leave game. Once a chat is reported, games stop working in it.
Gaming chat at a glance
- 4 games, in every one-to-one text chat.
- An invite lapses after a short wait.
- One game and one waiting invite per chat.
- Rematch or Leave game at any point.
- No games in voice calls.
Each game in one line
Tic-tac-toe is three in a row. Rock paper scissors is played as best of three rounds, so a draw or one win does not end it. Four in a row has you take turns dropping discs until one of you lines up four. In dots and boxes you take turns drawing lines, and whoever closes the most boxes wins. Rock paper scissors suits a short pause in the talk; dots and boxes gives a slow chat something to do.
Write the actual game as your tag: a title, a genre or a platform tells the other person what to ask. A typed title matches the same title for the first 20 seconds, then you are matched with anyone. How the suggested chips match each other is on the make friends page. Open with something only a player would ask: the boss that took you longest, the build you swear by, the game you quit and went back to.
Text chat
One stranger at a time, typed. Add up to 5 interests and we look for someone who shares one, or one from the same group, for 20 seconds, then match you with anyone.
Voice chat
A mic-only call with one stranger. The site does not ask for a camera. Calls are not recorded, but a report made on the website sends up to the last 60 seconds.
Games
4 two-player games in one-to-one text chats: tic-tac-toe, rock paper scissors, four in a row, and dots and boxes.
No lobby, no party chat
HearMe Chat does not connect to your console or PC library. There are no party chats, no voice lobbies for a squad, no screen sharing and no streaming. It is one stranger at a time, and the 4 games are the only games here. They live in text chat; a voice call keeps the talking and leaves the games behind.
If you meet someone you would play with properly, the make friends page explains how to stay in touch. Take your time before sharing a gamer tag, and Report or Block anyone who asks for account logins, gift cards or money. A person reviews reports.

Gaming chat - frequently asked questions
How do I invite someone to a game?
Open Games in the text chat and pick one of the 4. The other person sees an invite and taps Accept or Decline.
What if they do not accept?
The invite lapses after a short wait and you can send another. If invites are declined three times in a chat, they pause there for a couple of minutes.
Can we play again straight away?
Yes. When a game ends either of you can ask for a rematch, and the other person decides. Leave game ends one early.
Is rock paper scissors a single round?
No. It is played as best of three rounds, not a single throw.
Can I play in a voice call?
No. The games exist only in one-to-one text chats. Start a text chat to play, or talk on a call and leave the games for another match.
Ready to talk to someone new?
No sign-up, no camera. Pick text or voice.
