How it works
Ready in about a minute
- 01
Open the game on a TV, a laptop or a projector. The screen shows a six-digit code and a QR code.
- 02
Everyone scans the QR or types the code at LivePartyGames.com. Nobody has to install an app or make an account.
- 03
Every phone answers in secret, then the big screen shows what the room picked.
Big rooms, one game
Office parties, family reunions and weddings outgrow an 8-player game fast. The Party Pass holds up to 100 phones in one game for 48 hours, so nobody waits on the couch for their turn.
Works where installed games can't
Smart TVs
Any TV with a web browser runs it.
