Open any game from the launcher. A session code and QR code appear automatically on the audience/TV screen.
Players open their phone camera and point it at the QR code on screen. It opens instantly in their browser. No app download required.
On Mobile Host, tap the session code badge to show a full-screen QR overlay that's easy for the audience to scan.
Players type their name (or team name) and tap Join. They see a "YOU'RE IN!" waiting screen with a live player count until the game starts.
Game events arrive on phones instantly (under 100ms). Bingo cards update, quiz questions appear, claims and answers go back to the host in real time.
A green glow on the player's phone means they have an instant Realtime connection. Amber pulse means polling fallback (still works, slightly slower).
One session code lasts the whole evening. When you switch from Quiz to Bingo (or any other game), all player phones automatically redirect. No one needs to rescan the QR code.
