What is Mini Mahj Groups?
Mini Mahj Groups is a free feature that lets you create a private leaderboard and invite your friends to compete on the same daily Mahjong challenge. Think of it like Wordle squads — everyone plays independently at their own pace, and the leaderboard updates as each person finishes.
There's no real-time multiplayer required. You each play the daily puzzle whenever you want throughout the day, then check the leaderboard to see who came out on top. It's a perfect way to keep a Mahjong game going with family, friends, or a Mahjong club.
How to Create a Group
- Open Mini Mahj at minimahjdaily.com — no download, no account required. Works on any device.
- Tap the Groups icon from the main menu — it looks like a group of people. Select "Create a Group" and give it a name.
- Copy your group link and share it with friends via text, email, or wherever you chat. Anyone with the link can join.
- Everyone plays the daily puzzle at their own time. Your private leaderboard updates in real time as each member finishes.
- Check the standings at the end of the day to see who Mahj'd fastest — and the trash talk begins.
