Online Race

Race a friend on another device — share a code, tap to the flag!

Ages 3–8

Online Race lets a child race a friend or cousin on a totally different device, anywhere. One player starts a race and gets a short 4-character code; the other types the code to join, and they tap to the flag in real time. It’s safe, simple online multiplayer built for little kids.

Why it works at this age

A race against a cousin on another device turns the keyboard into a way to be together. Reading the four-character code (letters and numbers) and typing it in is a real, useful task wrapped in the excitement of a race, and the race itself is pure tapping speed, so any age can win.

Tips for parents

Read the code aloud together and let the child type it, one letter at a time.
Agree the number of races before you start; the invitation to play again is strong.
Neither player needs an account, so you can start the moment the other family opens the link.

Frequently asked questions

Is Online Race safe? Is there any chat?

Yes, it’s safe. There’s no chat, no names, and no personal information — players only share a temporary 4-character race code.

What do I need to play?

Two devices with a browser, both on tottype.com. Online Race is one of TotType’s free-tier games, so neither device needs an account. There’s nothing to install and nothing to pay.
