Archipela-GO! Web Client

Archipela-GO! is a game made for the Archipelago multiworld randomizer system. In AP-GO!, the player unlocks checks by traveling to real-world locations. This client lets you play in any supported web browser.

Host an Archipelago Game

1. On a PC, install the Archipelago software.
2. Download apgo.apworld and Archipela-Go.yaml from https://github.com/aki665/react-native-archipelago/releases
3. Install apgo.apworld using the “Install APWorld” option in the Archipelago Launcher.
4. Customize Archipela-Go.yaml as you see fit, or use the “Options Creator” in the Archipelago Launcher.
5. Generate and host a game.

Join a Game

1. On a mobile device, visit the hosted app.
2. Optionally add the web app to the home screen.
3. Enter the connection information for the hosted game. In the server log, it will show a message such as You can connect to this room by using '/connect archipelago.gg:99999' in the client. In this example, archipelago.gg is the address and 9999 is the port.
4. Enter the player name from your Archipela-Go.yaml.
5. If the hosted Archipelago game has a password, enter it, otherwise leave the password blank.
6. Press “Set Home Location…” and center the map on the location where you want to play the game, then press “Save.”
7. Press “Connect.” You may need to wait a few minutes for the game to generate locations. If you get an error, the server may be busy, or you may need to decrease the maximum radius in the YAML.

Playing a Game

Once connected, your goal is to either collect “macguffin” letters, or to check all locations, depending on what you set in the YAML. The letters are scattered throughout your game and any other games connected to the same Archipelago game. To collect them or to help other players collect them, you must go to the locations on your map. Map pins with a lock icon won’t become available until you collect enough keys.

System Requirements

Any of:

• Google Chrome version 114 or later
• Microsoft Edge version 114 or later
• Firefox version 125 or later
• iOS version 17 or later
• Safari version 17 or later

Web App Limitations

Most mobile browsers kill the connection to the AP server, and stop GPS tracking, as soon as the browser is hidden or the screen is turned off. A check will only count if the screen is turned on and the app is open, connected, and tracking.
