We're so glad you're here to explore the Metaverse with MONA. This guide will help you enter into & explore MONA Spaces with friends.
You can enter hundreds of MONA spaces directly from the Mona website through your desktop web browser using Chrome, Brave, or Firefox on PC or Mac. Safari and Mobile are not yet supported.
Each space will start as a Multiplayer experience.
Spaces can host 25 users per instance before creating a new Instance of the space. That said, there is no limit to how many instances there can be.
To create a private hangout link, select the Hangout button in the UI at the bottom.
Use the 'Share' button to copy the hangout link to the clipboard in order to send it to other users.
Use the 'Global' button to return to the main Multiplayer experience.
When you enter a MONA Space, you will be assigned a default Robot. Unless you have created a MONA account, you will be named as a 'Guest #' until you sign in.
To Customize your Avatar, click the Avatar Button or press 4 on your Keyboard. This will allow you to easily create an avatar with ReadyPlayerMe, or using fully custom VRM avatars.
Note: You you will need an account to save your Avatar when you return to MONA.
If you want to add a name to your Avatar, you will need to create an Account. Your Wallet is your account in Mona.

If you don't have a crypto wallet, learn how to do so at Setting up a wallet.
