Recovery

Recover an unavailable, expired, or interrupted room

Read room errors, repair an invite when possible, return to solo play, and know when local room state is gone.

Before you start

Room actions require the same local review server where the room was created. The default in-memory service resets when its process restarts.

Steps

Check the message and invite
For a malformed or missing room code, verify the six characters or request a fresh invite. A room that has expired cannot accept new attempts.
Open the Open Challenge: invalid or expired room guide
Retry only after fixing the cause
If the room service is temporarily unavailable, try again when it is reachable. For a pending score upload, retry that result from the room or result screen.
Open the Group play: loading or unavailable guide
Return to solo play
Choose Back to solo play or Keep playing solo. Solo practice remains available even when rooms are disabled or unavailable.
Open the Group play: loading or unavailable guide
Account for a local service restart
Default in-memory rooms reset when the review server process restarts. Restart-safe review requires an owner-configured private state file; that optional setup does not create hosted persistence.

What to expect

The interface preserves the local result and does not describe an unavailable room as successful.
Production room durability and public invitations are not available in this preview.

These are silent local synthetic preview captures. Account clips and screenshots show the unconfigured guest preview, not the locally prepared member flow. Some demos use 5-, 15-, or 20-second timers; private invitation details are hidden. If playback is unavailable, use the captions when present or read the full transcript below.

This capture uses a synthetic five-second round to keep the local demonstration short.

This guide uses a private isolated local room and a stopped-server expiry fixture. It does not claim hosted room availability.

An expired room shows its status and a safe way back to the game. It does not offer another scored attempt.

If a typed code is not found, check it with the host or ask for a fresh invite.

If the room service is unavailable, return to solo play and try group mode later.

A pending result can still be retried after connectivity returns; the result remains local until the room confirms it.
