Lights, sweets and scoreboards
Diwali Party Games
Diwali fills a house with family, neighbours and friends over several evenings, often with three generations in the room at once. A game everyone joins from their own phone suits that better than anything needing a table and a rulebook.
Diwali games for a house full of family and neighbours
The board goes on the television that is already there and guests join by scanning a QR code — nothing to install, no account to create, and nobody left out for having the wrong phone.
Rounds run on timers and a dropped phone rejoins its own seat, so the game survives a busy kitchen. Family in another country join the same room over a video call.
Common questions
- Do we need an app to play these diwali 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 diwali 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 diwali games online with remote guests?
- Yes. Share the board screen on Zoom or any video call and every player still joins from their own phone, wherever they are — a virtual room plays exactly like one in person.
- 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.
