The challenger picks an opponent
The draw favors people who have played less. The challenger chooses from up to three opponents. With three players, the rotation may determine the opponent; the same matchup never happens twice in a row.

The idea
How does it work?
Two rivals. One referee. A whole group cheering them on.
02Choose
Three options, one challenge
The challenger keeps the phone to pick one of three challenges, then passes it to the assigned referee. The referee reads the instructions and starts the challenge. Rivals answer aloud or use the controls shown.
03Score
One point, then a new duel
A standard duel is worth one point. The referee selects the winner for spoken answers; number and timing challenges calculate the result. Ties and skipped challenges score no points. The first to 3, 5, 7 or 10 points wins, depending on your setting.
Made to share
The spirit of a duel,
the joy of being together.
Cheer each other on, choose your rival and discover an unexpected talent. Roles rotate and nobody is eliminated. The 20 challenge types mix words, observation, logic, trivia, estimates, reflexes and luck.
For a night with friends
One phone is enough and many answers are spoken aloud. With three people, duel and referee roles rotate quickly; in a bigger group, everyone else enjoys the show.
Different ways to win
Find a word, estimate a number, judge a duration or choose a chest: each challenge calls on different skills. Read the instructions before every duel.

The rules and practical details for enjoying the game together.
Can two people play dudududuel?
No: the game requires 3–12 players. Each duel involves two rivals and a third player as referee. Everyone else stays in the game, with no elimination.
What kinds of challenges are there?
Twenty types include reversed words, opposites, arithmetic, required letters, observation, odd-one-out, trivia, alternating answers, estimates, mental timing, rock-paper-scissors, chests and reflexes. Three options are offered before a standard duel.
How do the five special duels work?
Royal duel is worth two points. Rematch brings back a previous opponent. King hunt targets a leading player. Imposed arena picks the challenge at random. Double duel requires two challenge wins and awards one point. These variants appear occasionally, at least three duels apart, and can be disabled before playing.
What does the referee do?
The referee reads the instructions, starts the challenge and judges spoken answers. Help provides a solution, examples or guidance depending on the challenge. For Mental timer and STOP, place the phone between the rivals so each can press their own button. The result is recorded as soon as a winner is selected, so check before tapping.
What happens in a tie?
A tied or skipped duel awards no points; move on to a new duel. In rock-paper-scissors, however, a tied round is replayed until one rival wins two rounds.
What is the connection to Yu-Gi-Oh!?
“It’s time to du-du-du-duel!” is a nod to the spirit of Yu-Gi-Oh!. dudududuel is an independent baræ creation with no affiliation to that franchise. Its rules are built around party challenges; no collectible cards or knowledge of Yu-Gi-Oh! are needed.
Do I need to pay or install an app?
No. dudududuel is free and opens in a connected phone’s browser. Players gather in the same place; this is not remote online multiplayer.
Shall we get together?
Who will you dare
to challenge?
One phone. Your group.
What happens next is up to you.
