Why it works at Diwali

Every generation, one game

Diwali brings everyone together — grandparents, cousins, colleagues, neighbours. Tambola is the one game they can all play at once.

  • The headache

    A big crowd and not enough paper tickets to go round.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    Up to 200 players join one game from their own phones by scanning the QR code — no app, no login, just a name.

  • The headache

    Nobody can hear the caller over the crackers and the chatter.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    The big screen shows each number huge and every call is spoken aloud. Connect whichever device is the voice — your phone or computer when you cast — to a Bluetooth speaker and the whole lawn hears every call.

  • The headache

    Prize disputes are the last thing a festive evening needs.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    The server checks every ticket and announces winners automatically. Same prize on the same number? Co-winners.

  • The headache

    You want a party game that stays family-friendly.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    It is entertainment only — no betting, no cash prizes — and every caller line passes family-safe filters before anyone hears it.

Your Diwali evening

From diyas to Full House

Slot it in after the puja, between performances or after dinner.

  1. A day before

    Create the game

    Sign up with email or Google, name the game, choose the prizes and set the capacity for your guest list.

  2. As guests gather

    Put the lobby on screen

    Show the game on the TV from your phone — cast it or link the TV by code — or use a laptop on a projector. Guests scan the QR or type the game code and appear on screen.

  3. Game time

    Let the screen call it

    Every number is called at random from 1 to 90, shown huge and spoken aloud with a witty line in English or Hindi.

  4. The finale

    Celebrate every winner

    Confetti and a spotlight for each winner, then a results screen with every prize and highlights like Fastest Full House.

A spotlight for every winner

The moment the server confirms a win, the big screen celebrates it with confetti and the winner’s name — the bit of the evening everyone remembers.

  • 8 prize categories, each winnable more than once
  • Co-winners when a prize completes on the same number
  • Results players can share in the family group
