Phone Games

Games where the television is the screen and the phones in the room are the controllers. Players scan a QR code on the TV and join in seconds — no app to install and no account to make.

How to play

The TV shows a QR code and a short room code. Each player scans it, enters a nickname and their phone becomes a game controller for that round.

About Phone Games on TV

Phone Controller Games transform everyone’s existing smartphone into a responsive wireless game controller. The television screen hosts the shared living room arena, while players use their phones to buzz in, draw, submit secret answers, or steer pieces.

Setup takes seconds: the TV displays an on-screen QR code and short session code. Players point their smartphone camera at the television to launch the handheld controller directly in Safari or Chrome. There is no app to download and no account creation required.

Because each player holds their own private screen, phone controller games unlock secret information mechanics like private trivia buzzers in Apex Quiz TV, hidden cards in Rummy and Hearts, and synchronized touchpad controls in Checkers and Mahjong.
