</>What does Overcrowded (Bigger Lobbies) do?
Ultimate Chicken Horse tops out at four players, and everyone who's ever hosted a full room knows the pain of telling a fifth friend to sit out. Overcrowded lifts that lid. Pick your new player count and host bigger, louder, more chaotic matches for local couch play and online games alike. You set the size when you host, so only the host needs it — everyone else just joins. Turn it off any time to go back to the normal four-player game. More friends, more traps, more ways to betray each other on the way to the flag.

</>Common questions about Overcrowded (Bigger Lobbies)
What does Overcrowded do in Ultimate Chicken Horse?
Overcrowded raises the player limit in Ultimate Chicken Horse above its standard cap of four. As the host, you pick a new maximum, then run bigger, louder, more chaotic matches for both local couch play and online games. Instead of telling a fifth friend to sit out, you simply set a higher number and everyone piles in. A master switch turns the bigger lobbies on or off, a slider sets the size, and a check action confirms the current limit. It is part of the ProjectMods catalog for Ultimate Chicken Horse, and it is built for groups who have outgrown the four-player ceiling and want the whole crew in one match together.
How many players can I actually fit in a match?
You decide, using the Max Players slider in Ultimate Chicken Horse. Set it before you host, and that becomes the ceiling for your game — take it from the standard four up to a much bigger crowd for a proper stampede to the flag. More players means more traps placed each round, more chaos on the board and more chances for friends to betray each other on the way to victory. Because you control the exact number, you can tune it to your group: a cozy five or six, or a wild, packed lobby for a party night. Whatever you choose, set the size first, then host so the match opens with your limit in place.
Does everyone need Overcrowded, or just the host?
Only the host needs Overcrowded in Ultimate Chicken Horse. Because the player limit is set by whoever is running the match, you install and enable it, choose your size, and then host — everyone else simply joins the way they always do, with nothing extra on their end. That makes it easy to be the person who throws the big party: your friends just click to join a lobby that happens to have more room than usual. It works for both local couch setups and online games, so the bigger crowd applies however your group likes to play together. Turn it off and you are back to hosting a normal four-player match.
What is the Check Lobby Size button for?
Check Lobby Size is a quick confirmation tool in Ultimate Chicken Horse. Press it and it shows you the current lobby size the game is set to use right now, so you can be certain your chosen limit took effect before you invite everyone in. It is especially handy because the size needs to be set before you host — a quick check saves you from starting a match only to find it still capped where you did not expect. Think of it as a sanity check: set your Max Players, glance at the reported number, then host with confidence. It does not change anything on its own; it simply reports the size that is active.
Why would I use Overcrowded?
Overcrowded is for groups who have simply outgrown four players in Ultimate Chicken Horse. Anyone who has hosted a full room knows the awkward moment of telling a fifth friend they have to spectate — this removes that entirely. It is perfect for a party night, a bigger Discord group, or a family couch session where everyone wants in at once. More players turns each round into a denser, funnier scramble, with more traps stacking up and more ways for the whole crowd to sabotage each other. Since only the host needs it and you can revert to the standard four-player game whenever you like, it slots neatly into how your group already plays together.
