How it works

Ready in about a minute

  1. 01

    Open the game on a TV, a laptop or a projector. The screen shows a six-digit code and a QR code.

  2. 02

    Everyone scans the QR or types the code at LivePartyGames.com. Nobody has to install an app or make an account.

  3. 03

    Every phone answers in secret, then the big screen shows what the room picked.

Settle it with a vote

Put the debate list on the TV. Everyone picks a side on their phone, the screen shows the split, and the losing side has to defend themselves. Arguments over pineapple on pizza have never been more official.
