YAPYAP How to Join Friends: Multiplayer and Co-Op Guide

Playing co op in YAPYAP is simple once you know where to look, and you can team up with friends before starting a night. The game supports private co op only, so you invite friends directly through Steam or let them join your session. You can play with up to 5 players total, which helps a lot when monsters show up and quotas start getting tight.

This guide breaks down exactly how to join friends in YAPYAP, where to send invites in game, and how many players can be in a co op session.

How To Play Co Op In YAPYAP

To play co op in YAPYAP, you must invite friends before a new night starts. Invitations are sent from inside your hut using a specific in game object, or friends can join directly through Steam. There are no public lobbies, so every co op session is private.

Inviting Friends Inside The Hut

All in game invites are sent from your hut before the night begins. If the run has already started, invites will not work.

  • Go to your hut and head to the ground floor

  • Look for the Ponder Orb in the center of the room

  • Interact with the Ponder Orb to send a co op invite

  • Your friend accepts and joins your session

Once they accept, they will spawn into your session and be ready before the night starts. Make sure everyone joins first, because late invites are not allowed once the round begins.

Joining Through Steam Instead

You can skip the Ponder Orb entirely if you want. Steam lets friends jump into your session directly.

  • Open the Steam overlay

  • Click your friend’s profile or have them click yours

  • Select join game while the session is live

This method is faster and works as long as the host has not started the night yet.

Co Op Player Limit In YAPYAP

YAPYAP supports up to 5 players in a single co op session. This includes the host and up to 4 invited friends. There are no public matchmaking options, so playing together always requires manual invites or Steam joining.

More players makes quotas easier and keeps you from getting jumped while working alone, which the game absolutely loves doing.

Final Blurb

Co op in YAPYAP is private, simple, and clearly designed around playing with friends you already know. As long as everyone joins before the night starts, setting up a session takes less than a minute. Grab your squad, hit the Ponder Orb, and try not to get eaten before the quota hits.
