Instructions
Use your mouse to move across the map. Leave your territory to draw a line and start capturing new land. When you return to your territory you'll close the circle and take all the enclosed tiles.
But when you are off your territory, you are at risk. If someone else moves into your tail, they will slice you and you'll have to start over.
Try to capture 20% of the map to become the Hexanaut. If you can keep your territory over 20% for two minutes after becoming the Hexanaut, you'll win the game!
Want some tips and tricks to help you get there? Check out our complete guide to Hexanaut right here.
Be careful: If you're eliminated while another player is the Hexanaut, you won't be able to rejoin the game.
So what are you waiting for! Go and play Hexanaut now and see how you fare in these giant lobbies. Afterward, you can check out our Multiplayer Playlist here if you want some more variety.

Capture the Totems
There are five different totems that you can capture while playing Hexanaut.io. Players should try and capture these whenever they are able to safely do so. They all have their different advantages that will help you conquer the map and become the Hexanaut.
Spreading Totem
The spreading totem is the only totem that will directly get you hexagons in Hexanaut. Once you capture the spreading totem, it will send out lasers that will capture tiles one by one. This is especially helpful in the early game when it can be hard to capture land.
Speed Totem
The speed totem will increase your speed by 5%. While this may seem like a small amount, it really adds up once you get two or three of them. Try to prioritize these totems and the game will treat you well.
Teleporting Gate
These gates do exactly what you would think – they will allow you to transport from gate to gate. This is very helpful when you have a large area of land to cover. Instead of having to go all the way across your hexagonal domain, you can simply go to a teleport gate and save yourself a ton of time.
It can also be a great way to sneak up on your enemies. There will oftentimes be players trying to attack the edge of your territory while you are on the other side of the map. However, if you can teleport to them you might be able to catch them off guard and cut off their tails.
Slowing Totem
The slowing totem creates an area where every other player will be slowed down immensely if they enter that area. It is kind of like a spider web, where every player can barely move except for you. Take advantage of this speed advantage by trying to take down every other player in the slow zone if they dare enter.
On the other hand, avoid the enemy slowing totems if you can. There is no reason to try and challenge an opponent when they have such a huge advantage.
Spy Dish
The spy dish will show you where all of the territories of other players are. While this may not seem very helpful, it actually becomes one of the most important totems when you start to gain quite a bit of territory. This is because there are a lot of players that will be trying to take over your hexagons. However, the spy dish will show on the map which areas are under attack and need defending.
Is Hexanaut a multiplayer game?
Yes. Hexanaut is called an IO game. Most of the time, everyone else you play with is a real person. However, because Hexanaut has giant lobbies, sometimes Coolmath Games adds in bots to fill up the room. Once more real people arrive, the bots get replaced. This way you can quickly find a game at any hour of the day without the map feeling empty.
Are there any other similar games on Coolmath Games?
Of course there are! Hexanaut isn’t the first IO game here, and these multiplayer games tend to be extremely popular on our site. A few of the big ones are defly.io, and our personal favorite, powerline.io. Powerline is based on the game Snake, except players are going head-to-head against each other instead of playing alone as a Snake trying to eat apples.
What are some changes that came from the most recent update?
The update has a ton of changes that make Hexanaut more interactive and fun. For one, players can now compete in a ranking system. This starts all the way at the bottom of the copper tier. As you continue to play and gain XP, you will rise through the ranks of bronze, silver, and gold. See how far you can get in Hexanaut.
Another big change is that players are now able to have different characters that they can play as. It is no longer just one skin that has different colors. Instead, players are able to choose tons of different skins, such as a boat, a plane, or a shark. These characters can be unlocked by either spending coins to purchase them or by unlocking them with a mystery chest that will be awarded to you occasionally. There are tons of different combinations of colors and skins that you can choose from, so get out there and start unlocking them now!
So what are you waiting for? Go and play Hexanaut now and see how you fare in this intense multiplayer game.
