No-prep party games the whole family plays together
Put the game on your TV. Everyone plays from their phone, or one phone per team. From the kids' table to Great-Grandpa, nobody needs an app, an account or a rulebook.
How it works
- Open Family Gathering Games on a TV or laptop. Tap a game. No account, nothing to install.
- Everyone scans the QR code with their phone camera. Kids and grandparents can share a phone as a team.
- You set the pace. Reveal answers when the room is ready, pause any time, and watch the scores on the big screen.

Questions hosts ask
- Do guests need to download an app?
- No. Guests scan a QR code on the TV and play in their phone's browser. Nobody creates an account.
- Can grandparents and young kids play?
- Yes. Text is large, every round is short, and people can share one phone as a team. Anyone can also just watch on the TV.
- What does it cost?
- Your first game each party is free for up to 10 phones. A one-time Holiday Pass unlocks every game for up to 30 phones until January 31. There is no subscription and there are no ads.
- Is it kid-safe?
- Kid-safe is on by default. Grown-up decks stay hidden unless the host turns it off, and no prompt pokes fun at what or how much anyone eats.
- What if the Wi-Fi is bad?
- Phones reconnect on their own and pick up where they left off. If you'd rather not use screens, print the free bingo and charades cards.
