Quick Play

**Quick Play** is one of the two of Bonk.io's options to play from the main menu, the other being a custom game. In the current HTML5-based Bonk.io, the options that are currently available are Classic, Arrows, and Grapple. There was also formerly an option for the mode Simple was well, within some later Beta versions of the recreation.

## **Servers in Quick Play**

Up to four players can be in a Quick Play server at once.

In the former Flash-based Bonk.io, all servers have a "host", which was the first player to join the server. If the host of a server left, the other players in this server were disconnected and redirected to the main menu. Despite being referred to as a host, unlike a host's role in a custom game's server, they did not have any technical power over the players.

In the HTML5-based Bonk.io, the feature has since been removed; if the first player to join the server leaves, it continues as normal with the remaining players.

In the Flash-based Bonk.io, all Quick Play servers started with the map Waiting Room upon a player joining, and, once another player joins the server, the map changed to a random map within the Quick Play rotation. Now with the HTML5-based Bonk.io, it jumps ahead directly into the rotation.

## **Classic Quick Play**

Classic Quick Play is generally the most often played Quick Play option within the current Bonk.io since the conclusion of the Flash-based version.

The version has its roots within the old Flash-based option as the only mode available, first released in and features the largest selection of maps, with over 200, all published within the former version.

This version of Quick Play is the only one where the maps were selected automatically. As a result, this Quick Play option is the only one where a portion of the maps are copied.

## **Arrows Quick Play**

Arrows Quick Play is generally the most often played Quick Play option within the current Bonk.io since the conclusion of the Flash-based version.

The version has its roots within the early versions of the HTML5 version's Beta, being first added on January 10th, 2020. This version of Quick Play consists of the smallest amount of available maps to play, with only 18 unique maps. The majority of the maps selected were also featured within the former Arrow Picks listing, with all of them being selected by Chaz.

## **Trivia**

* Quick Play is infamously known for being a popular play option for copied maps to be on, as well as being a common location to find trolls and toxic players. This has been altered slightly with the addition of new rotations for new gamemodes within the HTML5-based Bonk.io that are static-based, though this remains present within the Classic Quick Play rotation.
* Occasionally, in the Flash-based Bonk.io, a "blackout" occurred sometimes at the start of a round, which ended up concealing the whole map and forced players to rely on memorisation in order to win.
