About us

Made with care, one move at a time

go-xo.com is a calm place to play tic tac toe in your browser — against a friend on one device, with a friend on two devices, or against the computer. No sign-up, no install, no pressure.

It is made by two people who like building small, friendly games together.

Who we are

We are not a company or a big studio — just two people who make small, calm puzzle games and sites together, and go-xo.com is one of them. We build the sort of games we would want to play ourselves: quick to open, uncluttered, and happy to fill a five-minute break on a phone. No coins to buy, no endless pop-ups — just the board, the marks, and a fair opponent.

The two of us are Nadya Yashchuk and Ivan Lukichev, and we handle everything ourselves — design, development, the computer opponent and support. We work remotely, answer our own email, and shape each update around what players actually ask for.

go-xo.com launched in 2026 as the international version of our Russian tic tac toe site, and it keeps growing: new board sizes, new guides and small quality-of-life improvements land regularly.

What go-xo.com does

Everything runs in the browser and works on a phone as well as on a desktop. Your settings — board size, difficulty, who moves first — stay on your device.

  • Boards from 3×3 to 7×7: the classic three-in-a-row, plus larger boards where four in a row wins and tactics actually matter.
  • Three computer levels: play the computer from an easy warm-up to a hard opponent that rarely slips.
  • Two players on one device: pass the phone and play a quick match with whoever is next to you.
  • Online with a friend: create a room, send a link or show a QR code, and play in real time on two devices.
  • Short guides: the rules, how to win, the best first move and more in the guides.

The site is available in English, Polish and Czech, and the Russian original lives at крестики-нолики.рф. Each version is adapted by hand rather than machine-translated.

Our other games

go-xo.com is part of a small family of free browser games we make together. If you like this one, you may also enjoy Nonograms.pics (picture logic puzzles), Sudoku Play, Daily Solitaires (Klondike, Spider and FreeCell) and Four Numbers, a quick arithmetic puzzle. We build every one with the same promise: simple, friendly, and made to relax rather than distract.

Say hello

We genuinely read what people send us, and a lot of what goes into the game comes from player suggestions. Questions, ideas, a bug, or just a kind word — reach us at contact@nadzeyayashchuk.com. For details on what the site stores (very little), see the privacy policy.
