Can't join game when hosting a large group

Hello, I was recently showcasing Liberty Bikes as part of a Microservices workshop with 12 attendees. When asked to join the game as guests, a couple of attendees couldn't join.
Details:
- Pressing the
SIGN IN AS GUEST
button after inputting their username has the 'button clicked' feedback but wouldn't take them into the game. - Asking the user to use a different web browser or their phone wouldn't work either.
Just wanted to point this out in case you wanted to look into it for future large group workshops :). Cheers.

Hi @MaiHameed a couple of questions:
- Was anyone successfully in the queue for the next game?
- Anyone having trouble connecting using the exact same name as someone else?
- Were you using a single party for all of them, or a couple of hosted games on different tv's?
- Did it seem like there was a number of players threshold? ie worked fine with 10 but the 11th (and 12th) started messing up.
- Did this keep affecting a few people over and over or did it seem like anyone there could have hit this problem next?
- Did this happen the very first time they tried to sign in, or had they successfully signed in before, played a couple of games, and then tried to sign in again?
If this happens again, try having them change their username and report if that works.

Hi @olendvcook
- Multiple people were successfully in the queue.
- Don't think so, as I asked them to retry logging in with different usernames, and the issue still persisted.
- I only had one game hosted that they all tried to join.
- Unfortunately I couldn't keeping track of this.
- The same 2 people kept facing the same issue, even after changing their username, changing web browsers, refreshing the site, clearing cookies, and trying it on their phones.
- (I think) it was their first try signing in.
Cheers.
