Each player plays one disc of Zaireeka. Use headphones to hear their positions in the room.

Start all resumes each player from its own position. There is no automatic synchronization. Stop and restart individual discs to let them drift. The − and + buttons move a disc back or forward by 0.10 seconds. SYNC aligns one disc to the room clock; SYNC ALL aligns all four while preserving which discs are playing. Drag around the room to hear the sound from a different place.

In a shared room, voice starts with your microphone off. Click Mic off to speak. Voice volume and Leave voice are in the Room panel. Headphones help keep the music out of your microphone.

Walking: WASD or arrow keys to move, drag to look. On touchscreens, hold the arrow buttons to move. Esc returns to the overview. Open Map to reposition speakers. Keyboard: Space plays or pauses the room. Keys 1–4 toggle discs. In VR, point a controller at a player and pull the trigger. Use the central orange button to start or pause all four. Headset mode requires a compatible browser and HTTPS or localhost.
