Christmas party games on the TV, played from your phones

For a Christmas party, open Roomful on the TV, choose the Holidays deck, and everyone plays on their phone: real tree or artificial, open gifts on the eve or in the morning, who's most likely to shake every present. It's free and needs nothing but the phones you already have.

Fitting it into the party

  • Between the gift swap and dessert: 8 rounds of Most Likely To take about 10 minutes.
  • For a big group: up to 12 phones can join; pair people up if there are more.
  • For New Year's Eve: the same deck has New Year's questions, like "Midnight on New Year's Eve, or asleep by 10?"

Questions

Does it work for an office Christmas party?

Yes. The questions are about trees, cookies and gifts, nothing personal. See the icebreaker guide for a work group.

Can we play on a laptop instead of a TV?

Yes. Any screen everyone can see works; a laptop on the coffee table is fine for a small group.

Does anyone need to install anything?

No. The big screen and every phone just open roomful.hatcherylake.com in a browser.

How many people can play?

From 2 to 12 phones. It's best with 4 to 8 people in one room.

Is it free?

Yes. No account and no app to buy.
