1. Coin Flip TV: high-stakes 3D coin tossing on the big screen
Settling an argument or deciding who takes the first turn in a board game? Coin Flip TV renders a large, reflective 3D gold coin that spins realistically through the air with authentic physical weight and audio clinks. Press OK on your remote or tap your phone screen to launch the flip.
- Cryptographically unbiased randomness: Uses modern cryptographic randomness (
crypto.getRandomValues) to ensure an exact, mathematical 50/50 probability. - Best of 3 showdown mode: Need more drama? Engage Best of 3 mode where the TV automatically tracks rounds and announces the ultimate victor upon clinching two wins.
- Session statistics: The screen displays running counts and percentages for both Heads and Tails, alongside a visual chip history of your recent flips.
2. Virtual Card Deck: single, multi-card & Highest Card Wins
Lost a playing card from your favourite physical deck? Virtual Card Deck turns your TV into a reliable, beautifully rendered 52-card standard deck with crisp suit icons and court cards readable from across the room.
- Single & Multiple Card Draws: Draw 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 cards simultaneously with smooth drawing animations.
- Optional Jokers: Easily toggle the two Jokers in or out depending on your card game's rules.
- Highest Card Wins mode: Perfect for large groups! Each player in the room draws a card, and the TV compares all drawn cards to declare the winner. Standard card ranks (2 through Ace) are observed, with official suit hierarchy tie-breaking (Spades > Hearts > Diamonds > Clubs).
- Reshuffle & History: Track drawn cards in real-time, monitor remaining cards in the shoe, and reshuffle with a single click.
3. Random Number Generator & 3D Lottery Draw
Whether you're running a raffle, drawing bingo balls, assigning teams, or playing number games, the Random Number Generator provides maximum versatility:
- Custom Min & Max parameters: Set any number range (e.g. 1 to 100, 10 to 500) using the TV remote's on-screen numpad or your phone.
- Guaranteed Unique / No-Repeat mode: When enabled, each drawn number is temporarily removed from the pool so no duplicate can appear until you choose to reset.
- Animated 3D Lottery Draw mode: Switch to Lottery mode to see colorful, numbered lottery balls tumble dynamically in an acrylic tumbler and roll into the winner's rack one by one!
4. Rock Paper Scissors TV: secret smartphone duels & TV reveals
The timeless hand game reaches a whole new level on Rock Paper Scissors TV. While you can always challenge the computer bot, the real magic happens in 2-Player Phone Showdown:
Both players scan the TV's QR code. Each player secretly locks in their selection (Rock, Paper, or Scissors) on their phone screen. The opponent cannot see what was picked! Once both players are locked in, the TV initiates an energetic countdown: 3... 2... 1... SHOOT! Both choices are simultaneously revealed on the big screen with dynamic hand graphics and sound effects, updating the match scoreboard (Single, Best of 3, Best of 5, Best of 7, or Unlimited).
5. Upgraded Game Timer & Monotonic Precision Stopwatch
Our classic Game Timer has received a comprehensive overhaul, featuring dual tabs for COUNTDOWN and STOPWATCH:
- High-precision monotonic clock: Uses
performance.now()to guarantee drift-free timing down to hundredths of a second (00:02:45.82), completely unaffected by background tab throttles. - Lap & Split recorder: Record up to 99 distinct laps with instant visual indicators for the fastest lap (green) and slowest lap (red).
- Player Challenge mode: Integrate directly with your party player roster. Each player takes their turn tackling a speed puzzle or physical challenge, and the TV automatically builds an ordered leaderboard of times.
- Synchronised mobile remote: Control the stopwatch from across the room using your smartphone to start, pause, split, or reset without walking up to the TV.
How these tools transform family game night

- Put the Scoreboard up to track points for all players or teams throughout the evening.
- Use Dice with 3D rolling physics when physical dice bounce off the table.
