How to play

The Space is the voice layer. Spaces Companion never touches your audio. You talk and listen in X exactly as you always did.

The room is everything else. Music playback, the queue, games, chat, reactions and the scoreboard. The two are completely independent — leaving one does not affect the other.

The server decides, not your phone. Playback position, queue order and every score are calculated server-side and pushed to everyone at once. That is what keeps a room in sync instead of forty people hearing forty slightly different songs.

Only the host can start a game. Everyone in the room plays, guests included. Faster correct answers score higher.

The three social games read only what has happened inside your room — tracks queued, things said, scores earned. They do not read anything from X.

Karma is the app’s points. You earn it by taking part and spend it on queue priority and cosmetics. It is not money and cannot be bought or cashed out.

Daily caps exist on the small repeatable actions so nobody can grind them. Games are capped at 1,000 karma a day. Caps reset at midnight UTC.

Join a room on consecutive days and your streak grows. Milestones pay out:

• · 7 days — 50 karma
• · 30 days — 500 karma, plus a streak freeze
• · 100 days — 2,000 karma
• · 365 days — 10,000 karma

A freeze is spent automatically to cover a day you missed, so one bad day does not wipe out months. If you do break a streak of 30 days or more, a comeback bonus doubles your karma for the next seven days.

Each game type also keeps its own separate streak.

Twenty permanent unlocks, tracked separately from karma — they cannot be bought and never expire. Some are obvious (win your first round, host your first room), some take a while (a hundred correct trivia answers, a hundred different rooms), and a few are secret.

They appear on your profile with the percentage of players who have each one.

Six boards, so it is not just whoever plays the most who ever wins:

• · All time — total karma ever earned
• · This week — karma since Monday
• · This month — karma this month
• · Rising stars — biggest gains this week
• · Streak leaders — longest current streaks
• · Underdogs — high karma from few sessions

Guests are never listed on global boards — there is no permanent account to attach a rank to. Room scoreboards include everyone.

Do I need to be in the X Space to use this?

No, but it is much better with it. The Space carries the voices; the room carries the music, games and scoreboard. They run independently — you can drop out of the Space and stay in the room, or vice versa, and nothing breaks.

Does everyone hear the music at the same time?

Yes. Playback position is decided by the server, not your browser, and every player is continuously corrected back to it. If your device drifts more than a couple of seconds it is quietly pulled back in line.

Do I have to connect my X account?

No. You can join as a guest and play everything. Guests do not appear on the global leaderboards and do not keep karma, streaks or achievements between sessions — those need an account so there is something permanent to attach them to.

Does this read my tweets or my followers?

No. Nothing on Spaces Companion reads your timeline, your followers or your DMs. Every game runs on what happens inside the app — the tracks a room played, the answers people gave, the scores. Connecting your X account is only used to identify you and show your name and picture.

What is a room code?

Six characters that identify a room, like K7M2QP. Ambiguous characters are left out on purpose — no zero versus O, no one versus I versus L — so a host can read a code aloud mid-Space and nobody types it wrong.

Can I get my song played sooner?

Yes — spend karma to bump it up the queue. The cost starts at 50 karma and rises by 25 for every track you jump, up to 500. If your track is removed before it plays, the karma comes back.

What happens if the host disappears?

The room pauses automatically after 30 seconds and waits. If the host does not come back, it closes gracefully after 15 minutes with a countdown, so nobody is left sitting in a dead room.

Can I lose my streak?

Only by missing a day entirely. Longer streaks earn freezes that are spent automatically to cover a missed day. And if you do lose a long streak, a comeback bonus doubles your karma for a week to get you back.

Is any of this real money?

Karma is not. It is points inside the app — it cannot be bought, sold, cashed out or converted into anything. There is no crypto and no token, and there never will be.
