How to play

  1. Sit at your desk — WASD to move, E to sit. Mobile has on-screen controls.
  2. Answer the call — read the AI caller, manage trust and patience; use offline reply buttons, or optional AI dialogue and voice.
  3. Complete the desktop task — finish verification steps for in-game money (never use real card data).
  4. Shop and collect deliveries — upgrades install immediately; physical items must be picked up in the office.
  5. Hit the daily quota before the shift timer ends and pass the performance review — miss it and the run is over. Co-op: up to four players share the day; V for team voice.

git clone https://github.com/mrzh7/scam-with-your-friends-web.git
cd scam-with-your-friends-web
npm ci
cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars   # PowerShell: Copy-Item .dev.vars.example .dev.vars
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173. No Cloudflare login, OAuth or email service required. Leave the AI key empty for scripted offline play.

Deploy on Cloudflare

Set ACCOUNTS_ENABLED=true when you want login, create your own D1 database, configure at least one auth method, then follow DEPLOYMENT.md. Workers + Static Assets + D1 + Durable Objects — not a static-only Pages app. Provider credentials are never included; paid APIs may charge even though the source is free.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official Scam With Your Friends game?

No. This is an independent fan-made web version, not the Steam release or an official port. It is not affiliated with the original developers.

Can I play without an account or an AI API key?

Yes. The source defaults to accounts disabled and includes offline scripted calls. Free-form AI dialogue and optional cloud TTS require your own provider configuration; provider usage may cost money. See the quick start.

Can I host a multiplayer browser game myself?

Yes. The project includes co-op rooms, WebRTC voice chat and persistent progress. Follow the deployment guide for Cloudflare Workers, D1 and Durable Objects, including optional Google/email login.

What is this?Scam With Your Friends — Web is an unofficial, open-source browser remake of the Steam game 'Scam With Your Friends'. You run a scam call center in a 3D office, trick fictional AI callers into handing over fake money, hit a daily quota, and survive a brutal performance review — solo or in co-op with up to four friends over voice chat.
Is this an official Steam port or a fan project?It is an independent, unofficial fan-made remake with its own engine; it is not the original game, not an official port, and is not affiliated with the original developers. It runs entirely in the browser with nothing to install.
How do I start playing?Just open the hosted demo in your browser, or clone the repo and run it locally — no Cloudflare login, OAuth, or email service is required, and leaving the AI key empty gives scripted offline play.
Do I need an AI API key to play?No. Offline scripted caller dialogue works with no key at all. An AI provider key (plus optional MiniMax or ElevenLabs TTS) is only needed for free-form AI conversation and voice synthesis, and provider usage may cost money.
Any known limitations I should expect?Mobile WebGL and speech recognition support varies by device, there's no real payment system, and client-submitted single-player saves aren't meant for real-money rewards.
Does it require an account, and what happens to my data if I skip one?Accounts are optional and disabled by default; without one your progress saves per-browser via an anonymous cookie, so no personal data is collected unless you opt into Google or verified email login.
How many players can play co-op together?Up to four players share the same day and quota, each answering their own calls while using proximity-based team voice chat.
Can I self-host it for my own friend group?Yes — it deploys to Cloudflare Workers with Static Assets, D1 and Durable Objects. Set ACCOUNTSENABLED=true and configure an auth method if you want logins, then follow the DEPLOYMENT.md guide.
What languages does the UI support?The interface ships in English, Simplified Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese and Spanish.
What makes the daily loop interesting beyond answering calls?Office accidents like a virus, blackout, fire or raid break up the routine, and you can shop for upgrades and collect deliveries between calls to hit your rising daily quota before the performance review.
