When the bell rings… chaos begins.

Recess is a fast-paced multiplayer party game where classic playground games turn into all-out competition. Run, hide, throw, and outplay your friends across a variety of imaginative maps inspired by childhood memories.

Classic Games, Reimagined

Each match rotates through different playground favorites — simple rules, unpredictable outcomes, nonstop chaos.

Tag – Don’t be “it” when the clock hits zero.

Freeze Tag – Free your teammates before everyone gets iced.

Hide and Seek – Stay hidden… or hunt them all down.

Sardines – One hides. Everyone searches. It gets crowded fast.

Capture the Flag – Steal it. Defend it. Don’t get caught.
