Choose between 5 thrilling tournament modes
Gruppo includes something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to foster healthy competition, engage a therapy client, or just enjoy a fun team-building activity—it’s up to you!
Leaderboard
Players join the tournament and are placed in a dynamic waiting queue and paired. A win gives 15 points, and the player with the highest score wins. It's the most flexible, low-effort setup that requires low organization. You can start & stop the tournament when you want.
Single elimination
The loser of each match-up is immediately eliminated from the tournament. Each winner will play another in the next round, until the final match-up, whose winner becomes the tournament champion.
Double elimination
A double-elimination tournament is a type of elimination tournament competition in which a participant ceases to be eligible to win the tournament's championship upon having lost two games or matches. It stands in contrast to a single-elimination tournament, in which only one defeat results in elimination.
Round robin
Each participant meets all other participants one time.
Swiss
Each participant plays in every round of the tournament. Participants are not eliminated, and the winner is determined by the number of points earned.

A personal letter from the founder.
Dear player,
I started Papergames.io in 2017 as a way for my colleagues and me to break our boredom in company meetings.
I vividly remember the cheeky smiles and giggles we exchanged while secretly playing Tic Tac Toe on our laptops in the back of the meeting room. We must have spent over 500 hours playing — much to the dismay of our bosses once they finally found out.
Nowadays, I’m on the other side.
I understand how hard it can be for managers, educators, or other remote leaders to engage their teams. In a world littered with distractions and constant busyness, it seems impossible to unite people — especially online.
papergames.io is my attempt to make this just a tad bit easier for you. Use it to engage your team, build connections, or simply break the ice.
(And do so before someone, like me, cheekily does it on their own 😉)
Happy gaming!
David Galvis — Founder of papergames.io
