About Dice Hands
Dice Hands is a one-button party game for up to four people on one keyboard, where everyone throws dice onto a shared board and tries to hold the most points when the match ends.
Each player gets one key: M, C, Q or P. Press it to fix your aim, keep holding, then let go to set the power and throw. Dice that settle on a multiplier zone count four times, so one good throw can swing a close game. Depending on the mode, a match ends when a timer runs out or when the last round is played.
The menu lets you shape a match: a 60-second frenzy mode, a turn-based mode, bots for empty seats, how often bombs show up, how fast the board turns and which camera angle you use. This web build is a beta, so a few rough edges remain, such as a ready-up that sometimes needs a second press. You can play Dice Hands online here with friends around one keyboard.
How to Play Dice Hands
- Move through the menus with the arrow keys, Enter and Esc, or use the number keys to change settings.
- Set the number of players and switch bots on to fill any empty seats.
- Each player takes one key: M for player one, C for player two, Q for player three and P for player four.
- Press your key to lock your aim, then release it to lock the power and throw.
- Aim for the multiplier zones, where a die is worth four times as much.
- Finish with the most points on the board when the timer or the rounds run out.
What to Expect in Dice Hands
Expect cheerful chaos. With up to four people working their own keys, dice fly onto the board from every corner and the board keeps turning under them, so a throw that looked perfect can end up somewhere else entirely.
The look is chunky pixel art on a 3D table, with each player at a corner station with a lever and a score display, and the menu offers small touches like a choice of camera angle and on-screen guides. It's a party game first, built for laughing at each other's throws. Play Dice Hands free with friends, or with bots when you're on your own.
Tips for Dice Hands
- Learn the rhythm of your key: the moment you press sets your aim, and the moment you let go sets the power.
- Go for the multiplier zones whenever you can, since a die on one counts four times.
- Slow the board rotation down while everyone learns, then speed it up once throws start landing.
- Pick 60-second frenzy for a fast, noisy round, and turn-based when you want time to line up each throw.
- If a player does not ready up on the first press, press their key again.

Can I play Dice Hands on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook works, since every player needs only one key and the menus use the arrow keys, Enter and Esc. On a phone you would need a keyboard attached, so a laptop, desktop or Chromebook is the way to play, ideally one with room for several people around it.
Is Dice Hands unblocked at school?
Dice Hands needs only a browser tab, with no download or plugin. Whether it opens on a school or library network depends on that network's filter, which we do not control. If it loads, one keyboard is enough for up to four people.
Can you play Dice Hands alone?
Yes. Set the player count to one and turn bots on in the menu, and computer players fill the other seats. It's a good way to learn the press-and-release timing before you bring friends in, since the bots keep the board busy while you practice.
What game modes does Dice Hands have?
There's a 60-second frenzy mode, where the most points when the timer runs out wins, and a turn-based mode played over rounds. The menu also lets you set how often bombs appear, how fast the board turns, the camera angle and whether on-screen guides are shown.
