How Party Bo works

One shared screen, everyone's phones, zero setup. Here is a party night from start to finish.

  1. Scan

    Open Party Bo on the TV. A QR code and a room code appear.

  2. Join

    Everyone scans with their phone camera and types a name. No app, no sign-up.

  3. Play

    Pick a game or a Party Mix. The TV shows the fun, phones are the controllers.

1. Open Party Bo on the big screen

On a smart TV or a laptop connected to your TV, go to partybo.com/tv and press Start Party. Use the remote arrows and OK, or a keyboard. A big QR code and a six letter room code appear.

2. Everyone joins from their phone

Players scan the QR code with their camera, type a name (or tap the dice for a silly one) and pick an emoji. They can also go to partybo.com/join and type the room code. The first person to join becomes the host.

3. Pick a game or a Party Mix

The host chooses from the phone or the TV. Every game starts with a short how to play card, so nobody needs to read rules.

4. Play, laugh, repeat

Questions, drawings, timers and scores show on the TV. Phones only show what you need: a vote, a secret word, a canvas or big buttons. The host can pause, skip or start another game at any time.

If someone drops out

Phones lock and Wi-Fi wobbles. Just reopen the page and you are back as the same player with the same score. Rounds never wait for someone who has left.
