The idea
Game night should start in seconds, not after everyone downloads an app.
Most party game apps ask every player to install something and make an account before the first question. At a crowded table, that is where the fun dies. TipsyRounds runs in the phone's browser instead. The host opens a game and a big QR code appears. Everyone scans it, picks a name, an avatar and a table number, and they are in.
The same games had to work for very different crowds: a family on the couch, friends at a bar, or a brewery running a weekly quiz night for 200 people.
What we built
Three taps to chaos: the host opens a game, everyone scans, and you read while they tap. Scores update live and winners get confetti and a spot on the leaderboard.
A real pub quiz
Themed rounds, a halftime break, double points and a final wager, so a bar can run a proper quiz night from one phone.
Ratings with a ceiling
Every pack is rated from PG up. The host sets the limit for the room, and nothing spicier sneaks in.
Teams by table
Two or three friends up to 60 players on a free night, solo or in teams. Shout out a table number and that table becomes a team.
Built for the big screen too
Phones are all you need, but we also designed and built TV apps for Roku, Fire TV and Google TV. The board, questions and scores show on the screen the whole room is already watching.
Free, with sponsors
Every game and the whole pack library are free. Sponsors pay the tab, and optional plans add ad-free nights, scheduled nights, room PINs and table QR codes for venues.
