Our story · GT Connect 2026
Why did we build an online tambola game?
PlayTambola.Live was built in-house by the Guava Trees Softech team for our own annual event, GT Connect. One game turned into two by popular demand — people still wanted more when time ran out — and the buzz lasted a whole month. That’s when we knew it was ready for every crowd.

How does the AI tambola caller work?
A tambola night is only as fun as its caller, so ours is AI-powered. In paid games it writes a fresh, witty, family-safe line for every number live, in English or Hindi, and it’s spoken aloud — by the big screen, or by your own phone or computer when you cast to a Chromecast or Google TV. Free games draw on a growing bank of hand-curated and AI-written lines.
Caller lines are written by AI, running on our own LLM gateway.
Fresh lines, written live
In paid games (more than 5 players), the AI caller writes a new, witty line for each number as it’s called — in English or Hindi.
Family-safe, every line
Every line passes family-safe filters before anyone hears it: no money, betting, alcohol, religion, politics or insults.
Spoken aloud
Text-to-speech reads each number and its line aloud in English or हिन्दी — from the big screen, or from your phone or computer when you cast (keep its screen on). Big room? Connect that device to a Bluetooth speaker or the hall’s sound system. Players’ phones stay quiet.
Free games get the fun too
Free games draw on a large bank of hand-curated and AI-written lines that grows with every game.

This preview uses your device's own voice. In a game, the big screen speaks — or, when you cast, your phone or computer does. When you cast to a Chromecast or Google TV, the caller's voice plays from your own phone or computer, so keep its screen on; a TV linked by code speaks once you turn its voice on, if its browser supports speech, otherwise your device does.
How it works
How do you play tambola online in 3 steps?
Create a game and put it on your TV from your phone — or on a laptop or projector. Guests scan the QR code or type the game code on their phones — no app, no login. You tap Next number, the server picks it at random, the caller says it aloud and every win is checked — at your pace. No printing, no number bag, no checking tickets by hand: you run the room, we run the game.

Cast to TV
Can you put tambola on your TV without a laptop?
Yes — your phone and your TV are enough. Cast from Chrome on an Android phone or a computer to a Chromecast or Google TV, or open the TV address on a smart-TV browser or Fire TV and pair it with a code, which works from an iPhone too. Nothing gets installed on the TV, and players still join on their own phones.
When you cast to a Chromecast or Google TV, the caller's voice plays from your own phone or computer, so keep its screen on; a TV linked by code speaks once you turn its voice on, if its browser supports speech, otherwise your device does.

Housie with friends
Can you play housie online with friends?

Watch it in action
What does an online tambola game look like?
Here’s a real game, start to finish: the host taps Next number, the big screen animates each call and the caller says it aloud while a player taps their 3×9 ticket on a phone. Wins are checked by the server and celebrated on screen, so the whole room follows one game together — one big screen, every guest on their own phone.
