Tonight’s guest activity: tambola

Looking for a guest activity your team can run every week? PlayTambola.Live turns the lawn, banquet or lounge screen into a tambola caller: guests join on their own phones by QR, the server calls and checks everything, and seats never expire — so one bundle carries you from one weekend to the next.

For the activities team

A crowd favourite that’s easy to repeat

Guest evenings work best when they are simple to run, easy to repeat and fair to every table.

  • The headache

    The evening activity depends on one star host who knows the routine.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    Calling, ticketing and win-checking are handled by PlayTambola.Live, so whoever is on duty opens the host view and starts the game.

  • The headache

    Paying for a plan through the off-season.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    There is no subscription. Seats never expire, so seats bought for peak season are still there when the guests come back.

  • The headache

    An open lawn, a breeze and a caller nobody can hear.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    The host screen speaks every call aloud. Connect the projector or laptop to your PA system and the whole lawn hears one clear caller — guests’ phones stay quiet.

  • The headache

    Guest numbers change every night.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    Set a capacity for each game — 10, 25, 50, 100, a custom number or up to 200. Games with up to 5 players are free.

How it fits your week

Set up once. Play every weekend.

Make it a fixture on the activity board — the same easy routine every time.

  1. Once

    Set up the host account

    Sign up with email or Google and buy a seat bundle via Cashfree Payments — UPI, cards, net banking or wallets. Seats are credited instantly and a GST tax invoice is emailed.

  2. Each evening

    Open tonight’s game

    Create the game, pick the prizes and open the lobby on the projector or TV. Guests scan the QR from their tables.

  3. Showtime

    Let the caller take over

    Numbers are called at random, shown huge and spoken with a witty line, while winners are spotted by the server. Your team is free to be with the guests.

  4. Next week

    Run it again

    Your seat balance carries over. The host home lists the games you have hosted, so starting the next one is routine.

Resort FAQ

Questions activity managers ask

Can a resort run tambola as a guest activity?

Yes. PlayTambola.Live runs on any TV, projector or laptop at your lawn, banquet hall or lounge, and guests join from their own phones by scanning a QR code — no app, no login, just a name. The server calls the numbers and checks every win.

Do unused seats expire at the end of the season?

No, seats never expire. Unused seats stay in your balance for future games, and one bundle can be used across any number of games.

Can we play the calls through our sound system?

Yes. The calls are spoken aloud by the host screen, so connecting the laptop, TV or projector that runs the host view to your speakers puts the caller on your sound system. Guests’ phones stay quiet.

How many guests can play at once?

Up to 200 players can play in one game, and you can set a capacity for each game to match the evening’s turnout.

Do we get a GST invoice for seat purchases?

Yes. Bundles are priced in INR with 18% GST added at checkout, and a GST tax invoice is emailed. Transaction history and PDF receipts are also available in the app.

How do we pay for seats?

Through Cashfree Payments, using UPI, cards, net banking or wallets. Seats are credited to your balance instantly.

What does a month of weekly tambola nights cost?

Four games of 30 guests use 120 seats, which fits in the Value bundle — 150 seats for ₹449 plus 18% GST — with 30 seats to spare. Games with up to 5 players are free.
