Families battle it out
Family Showdown
Families against families, or one side of the family against the other. The scoreboard tracks teams rather than individuals, which changes how a room plays.
Family games where households go head to head
Everyone joins from their own phone by scanning a QR code, so it works across a wide age range without anyone installing anything.
Rounds are timed and a dropped phone rejoins its own seat, so a big noisy room does not stall the game.
Common questions
- Do we need an app to play these family 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 family 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.
