Party games for Onam, Diwali and family get-togethers
When the whole family is together, the best games are the ones everyone already knows, from grandparents to cousins. Our Console puts those games on the TV, with each person's phone as their controller, so up to eight people can play without cards, boards or paper.
Games everyone knows
- Housie: the TV calls the numbers and checks every claim; each player marks their own ticket.
- Act It Out: dumb charades with Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English films.
- Carrom: flick the striker from your phone.
- 28: the Kerala card game for four, with every hand hidden on its own phone.
Quick games for mixed ages
- Trivia: vote for a category, including Kerala, Malayalam Cinema, India, Cricket and Football, then answer on your phone.
- Most Likely To: pick the Family deck for prompts that are safe for every age.
- Hot Bomb and Snake Arena: simple, fast and loud.
Setting up in a minute
- Open the site on the TV (or a laptop connected to it) and press Host a game.
