Squads let you design and compete with a small group of friends or teammates. They make it easy to share designs, run squad duels, and earn extra group rewards when your squad meets certain goals.
What a Squad Is
A Squad is a small group of players tied to a Messenger conversation.
Squads let members automatically match designs with each other, participate in squad duels, and earn bonus group rewards when the squad meets specific conditions.
How squads and duels differ from Friend / Community play
Friends (Head-to-Head): You challenge a single friend directly. Winning a head-to-head duel typically grants a fixed individual reward (for example, a Silver reward when winning a Friends duel).
Squads: Squad duels match your submitted design against designs from other squad members (auto-matched). Squad duels often offer increased rewards compared to regular friend duels and can unlock bonus rewards for the whole group when squad-wide requirements are met.
Community: Community duels show designs from the broader player pool and are useful for general voting and visibility.
Tip: If you need a duel to count for a specific daily mission, make sure you’re doing the correct duel type (for example, head-to-head friend duels — not squad or community duels — if the mission requires a head-to-head win).
How squad rewards work
Individual vs. group rewards: Squad activities can award both individual rewards (for your performance) and group rewards (shared by the squad when the squad reaches a milestone).
Proportional distribution: When a squad earns a group reward, the payout to members is usually split based on how much each member contributed toward the squad goal. Members who didn’t contribute typically won’t receive a share of that group reward.
Auto-matching & reward boost: Submitting designs to squad duels uses the squad auto-matching system; these matches generally give higher rewards than standard community matches, reflecting the squad focus on cooperation.
Creating, joining and leaving squads
Creating a squad: Create a new Messenger group conversation with the friends you want in your squad. Using the squad chat to launch Room Design will connect the squad to that group.
Joining a friend’s squad: Ask a squad member to open the squad chat and add you using the Messenger Add People option. Once added to the chat, open any game notification from that chat to join the squad in-game.
Leaving a squad: To leave, exit the Messenger conversation that’s tied to the squad. If you later tap a squad notification from that old chat, you may rejoin, so be careful.
If the squad is full: If a squad is at capacity, you won’t be able to join; contact the squad admin to free up a slot.
Squad administration
Squad membership and the squad name are managed through the Messenger group. Squad administrators (group admins in Messenger) control membership.
The game uses the Messenger group to identify the squad and manage members — any membership changes in Messenger will be reflected in the squad.
Common things to watch for
Mission eligibility: Some missions only count for specific duel types. Check the mission text carefully — if it asks for a head-to-head duel, squad or community duels may not qualify.
Reward limits: Duels, voting, and other features may have daily limits for rewards; check the relevant help article if you expect a reward but didn’t receive i
