Puffer Party not working? Try these fixes

We are a fan site and can't see Krillion's servers. These are general steps that fix most browser game problems, plus what the official FAQ says about lag.

The puffer popped but my screen still showed time

This is the most common complaint. Krillion's FAQ says the fuse length is random on purpose. It also points out that a laggy connection, on the game server or on your own network, can leave the puffer showing on your screen after the turn has moved on or it already went off. To reduce it:

Use a stable connection. Move closer to your router, or switch from mobile data to Wi-Fi (or the other way around).
Pause big downloads, streams and video calls on the same network.
Close other heavy tabs so the browser isn't slowed down.

The page won't load or stays blank

Refresh the page (on desktop, a hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac).
Check that krillion.io itself opens. If it doesn't, the problem may be your network or the site, so try again later.
Try a private/incognito window. If it works there, an extension (often an ad or script blocker) may be interfering, so turn extensions off for the site.
Update your browser, or try another one (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
On school or work networks, game sites may be blocked. Try another network.

I can't join a room

Check the room code letters with your host.
The room may be full, or already playing. Pick another room from the public list or ask your host to make a new one.
Refresh the lobby, then try again. More details are on our rooms page.

My answer wasn't accepted

Answers can't be reused on the same question, and an answer has to be in Krillion's answer list. The FAQ says missing answers are usually from a source it hasn't added yet. If you think a valid answer is missing, raise it through Krillion's official channels listed on its FAQ page.

Report a bug to Krillion

Only Krillion can fix problems in its game. Use the contact options on the official FAQ page. We can't help with accounts, purchases or ratings.

While you wait

If Puffer Party is down for you, our Hot Fuse practice game runs fully in your browser, and its pass-and-play mode works offline once the page has loaded.
