Fireside games for the whole crew
Christmas
Christmas gatherings mix ages, energy levels and attention spans more than any other occasion, which is exactly where a game everyone can join from their own phone earns its place. Put the board on the television already in the room and hand nobody anything.
Christmas party games for the whole room
There is no app to install on a relative's phone and no account for anyone to create - a camera pointed at a QR code is the whole setup. Rounds run on timers, so the game keeps moving whether or not someone has wandered off to check the oven.
These work at a family Christmas, at a work Christmas party, and over a video call to whoever could not travel this year.
Common questions
- Do we need an app to play these christmas games?
- No. The host opens a game on any screen and everyone else scans a QR code with their phone camera. It all runs in the browser that is already on the phone — nothing to install, and no account to create.
- What do we need to host christmas party games?
- One screen everyone can see — a TV, a laptop, or even a propped-up phone — and a phone each for the players. That is the whole setup.
- Can we play these over Zoom or a video call?
- Yes. Share the board screen on the call and every player still joins from their own phone, wherever they are.
- Is it free?
- Hosting is free for small groups. Larger rooms, and hosting without the watermark, need a Pro plan or a one-off day, weekend or event pass.
- What happens if someone's phone drops out?
- They rejoin the same seat with their score intact. Rounds also run on timers, so one missing player never stalls the game for everyone else.
