Do I need to download or install anything?
+
No. Our Console runs in the web browser on the big screen and on every phone. There is no app, no account and no sign-up.
How many players can play?

One to eight players. Trivia, Math Rush, Memory Code, Snake Arena, Stop the Clock and Quick Draw can be played solo; party and social games need two or three players or more.
