Friends and family, one screen, one room
Bring everyone together around one screen. Each player uses what they have: a phone, a keyboard or a game controller, all in the same game.
The cabinet
Point at a game to see it move. Click one to open it on this screen.

this screen needs a pass
Opening a room takes a one-time beta pass. Everyone who joins with a phone plays free — no account, no payment, ever.
Beta: “lifetime” means the lifetime of the service, and there’s no uptime guarantee.
