Questions people ask
Does anyone need to install anything?
No. The TV opens a website; the phones scan a QR code. That's the whole setup.
How many people can play?
Up to 12 on the same screen, depending on the game. Solo works too — add computer opponents from the lobby.
Can people cheat by peeking at the screen?
The big screen only ever shows what everyone may see. Hands, answers and secrets live on your own phone — and are enforced server-side, so even devtools won't help.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Grab a screen, grab your phones, play.
