How a game night works

  1. Put the game on your TV

    Open the game's website in your TV's browser, or cast it from a laptop.

  2. Scan the code with your phone

    The TV shows a QR code and a room code. Scan it and you're in.

  3. Play together

    Your phone is your controller. The whole room watches it play out on the big screen.
