An alternative to AirConsole and Jackbox
AirConsole and Jackbox made the idea popular: one shared screen, and phones as the controllers. Our Console is a smaller, free take on the same idea that runs entirely in the web browser.
What is the same
- The game is shown on a TV, laptop or projector
- Each player uses their own phone as the controller
- Players join by scanning a code, with no controllers to buy
What is different about Our Console
- Free: all eight games, with no purchase and no subscription
- No app and no account, for the host or for the players
- Phones talk straight to the screen over your own WiFi, which keeps the delay very low for racing and football
- Six of the eight games can be played alone, with computer opponents in racing and football
- A tournament mode that plays five random games and crowns one champion
When the others are the better choice
Our Console has eight games. AirConsole and Jackbox have much larger catalogues, including drawing and writing games that Our Console does not have. If you want a wide library, or you play with people who are not in the same room, one of them will suit you better.
Our Console is made for people in one room on one WiFi network who want to start playing within a minute.
The eight games
- Turbo Circuit (3D racing) and Goal Rush (3D football)
- Snake Arena
- Trivia, Math Rush and Memory Code
- Most Likely To and Hot Bomb
