Recommended games

Start with these

It's Sketchy

Draw, bluff and vote

Every player gets a secret prompt to draw. Then the room bluffs about each drawing and votes for the real one. No artistic skill needed - the worse the drawing, the better the game.

On phones: A drawing canvas, then bluffs and votes

Draw & Guess

Live drawing on the big screen

One or more players draw a secret word on their phone while their strokes appear live on the TV. Everyone else guesses. Choose who draws, set the timer, skip a word you do not like.

On phones: Draw with your finger

Bingo

Everyone gets their own card

Call numbers B1 to O75 or play with your own items - movie quotes, office in-jokes, whatever fits the night. Each player daubs their own card on their phone and claims BINGO; the server checks the claim so nobody has to argue. Pay only the first winner, or every player who calls a valid BINGO - with the points you choose.

On phones: A personal card and a BINGO button

Spin Wheel

A wheel that picks fairly

Type the names, prizes or dares and spin. The server picks the winner before the wheel moves, so it is always fair, and the TV animates the landing. Optionally eliminate each result until one is left.

On phones: Watch the big screen

Photo Showdown

You pick the finalists, the crowd picks the winner

Players send a photo from their phone - a live picture or one they already have - and you choose which ones go up on the TV. Then the room votes, and the winning photo is crowned. Or supply the photos yourself and let everyone vote. You can download every photo players sent.

On phones: Camera and voting

Your Show. Your AI Sidekick.
