How the night starts
No sign-up, no cables, no rule booklets. Whoever arrives late just scans in.
Pick a game on the table
Apple TV, iPad or Mac opens a room and shows a QR code with a short room code.
Scan the QR code
With the Gather app or just your phone’s camera – then you play right in the browser.
Play
The TV shows the table, your phone shows only what you need: your hand, your role, your dice.
19 games in one box
Party games for big groups, card classics without shuffling, board games for two and a race where your phone becomes the steering wheel.
Every device has a job
One device is the table, everything else is a controller. Many games also work with no TV at all.
Apple TV, iPad or Mac as the table
The table shows the board, questions and scores for everyone. On a Mac it runs in its own window – handy for a projector.
Phones as controllers
Everyone plays on their own phone, in the app or in the browser. On Apple TV, game controllers can join the race too.
