This is an image of the Quick Play Select's design in its current state.
Quick Play is one of the two of Bonk.io's options to play from the main menu, the other being a custom game. In the current HTML5-based Bonk.io, the options that are currently available are Classic, Arrows, and Grapple. There was also formerly an option for the mode Simple was well, within some later Beta versions of the recreation.
Servers in Quick Play[]
Up to four players can be in a Quick Play server at once.
In the former Flash-based Bonk.io, all servers have a "host", which was the first player to join the server. If the host of a server left, the other players in this server were disconnected and redirected to the main menu. Despite being referred to as a host, unlike a host's role in a custom game's server, they did not have any technical power over the players.
In the HTML5-based Bonk.io, the feature has since been removed; if the first player to join the server leaves, it continues as normal with the remaining players.
In the Flash-based Bonk.io, all Quick Play servers started with the map Waiting Room upon a player joining, and, once another player joins the server, the map changed to a random map within the Quick Play rotation. Now with the HTML5-based Bonk.io, it jumps ahead directly into the rotation.

Classic Quick Play[]
"The original Quick Play. A selection of some of the best classic maps combined with new ones too."
Classic Quick Play has generally been the most often played Quick Play option in Bonk.io since the conclusion of the Flash-based version.
The old version has its roots within the old Flash-based option as the only mode available, first released in and features the largest selection of maps, with over 200, all published within the former version. This version of Quick Play was the only one where the maps were selected automatically. As a result, this Quick Play option was the only one where a portion of the maps are copied.
The current version contains 38 selected maps, which play in random order.

The version has its roots within the later versions of the HTML5 version's Beta, being first added on November 9th, 2020.

Trivia[]
- Quick Play is infamously known for being a popular play option for copied maps to be on, as well as being a common location to find trolls and toxic players. This has been altered slightly with the addition of new rotations for new gamemodes within the HTML5-based Bonk.io that are static-based, though this remains present within the Classic Quick Play rotation.
- Occasionally, in the Flash-based Bonk.io, a "blackout" occurred sometimes at the start of a round, which ended up concealing the whole map and forced players to rely on memorisation in order to win.
