Let's get started

What you need

  • •A laptop or tablet for the host screen
  • •A TV or projector (optional but recommended)
  • •Guests play on their own phones - nothing to install

How the host controls it

  • •Call Next Number draws at random
  • •Tap the board to call or undo a number by hand
  • •Players panel shows how close each guest is to a line and a full house
  • •Win condition can be changed mid-game without resetting

Who it suits

Weddings, parties, pubs, clubs, fundraisers - anyone who wants a familiar game running in minutes.

How guests join

Guests scan the QR code or open the join link, type a name, and get their own card. No account, no download.

How you win

One line, two lines or a full house, depending on the setting you chose when you created the event.

How it ends

Reset for another round with the same players, or End Game to close the session.

Run the host screen on a laptop plugged into the venue screen - guests watch the numbers come out.
The event code never expires, so a guest who loses their page can join straight back in.
