Claiming Games

After every game, Roquer generates a claim code so your opponent can get credit too. This is how both players appear on the leaderboard.

How it works

1. You finish a game (via the clock or “Log Game”)
2. Roquer shows a 6-digit claim code and a QR code
3. Your opponent enters the code in their app — or scans the QR code

Both players are now credited for the game, and both appear on the spot’s leaderboard.

Three ways to share

Method	When to use
Claim code	Your opponent has the app open. They type the 6-digit code.
QR code	Fastest option. Your opponent scans it with their camera.
Share link	Your opponent isn’t here right now. Send via WhatsApp, text, or email.

Your opponent doesn’t have the app?

No problem. The QR code and share link both work for new users:

1. They open the link in their browser
2. They see the game details and a prompt to download Roquer
3. After installing, the game is automatically attributed to their account

Expiry

Claim codes expire after 7 days. If your opponent doesn’t claim the game within that time, it still counts for you — but the opponent is recorded as “Anonymous.”

Claiming someone else’s game

If someone shared a claim code or link with you:

1. Open Roquer
2. Tap Claim a Game on the home screen
3. Enter the 6-digit code
4. Done — the game appears in your history and your rating is updated

Log Game (no clock needed)

If you used a physical chess clock or played an untimed game, you can still log it:

1. Tap Log a Game on the home screen
2. Select who won (White / Black / Draw)
3. Choose the time control (or “Untimed”)
4. Share the claim code with your opponent

Untimed or “unrated” games still count for spot activity but don’t affect your competitive rating.
