Housie for the sangeet, sorted

Want a housie game at the sangeet, the mehendi or a family function? PlayTambola.Live puts the calling on the hall’s big screen and a ticket on every guest’s phone — no paper tickets, no app — and the server checks every win, so the bride’s side and the groom’s side can’t argue over a Full House.

Wedding-day reality

Every guest in. No paper anywhere.

Housie is a family favourite at Indian weddings. Here is how it stops being a logistics job for the planner.

  • The headache

    Paper tickets that vanish under the mithai plates before the third number.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    There is nothing to print. Each guest gets a server-generated 3×9 ticket on their phone, and only called numbers can be marked.

  • The headache

    Not every relative is comfortable reading English.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    Switch the app to हिन्दी — prize names like फुल हाउस and चार कोने read naturally for everyone.

  • The headache

    Cousins, aunties and grandparents — every grown-up generation in one hall.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    Everyone plays on their own phone with just a name, while the big screen keeps the whole hall watching the same moment.

  • The headache

    Two phupphas both insisting they called Full House first.

    With PlayTambola.Live

    The server checks every ticket. Co-winners on the same number share the win, and the big screen celebrates each one with confetti.

How it fits your function

Between the dances and dinner

A housie round fills the gap between performances and keeps every table involved.

  1. While planning

    Fit it into the programme

    Pick a slot between performances or after dinner. Create the game, choose the prizes, and set the capacity to match the guest list.

  2. At the venue

    Use the hall’s screen

    Open the host view on the hall’s TV or projector, or a laptop. The calls are spoken by the host screen, so plug it into the sound system.

  3. Game time

    Guests scan from their seats

    Guests scan the QR, type their name and get a ticket. The big screen calls every number with a witty caller line.

  4. Winner moments

    Confetti for every winner

    Each confirmed win gets the spotlight on the big screen, and the results screen at the end shows every prize winner.

Built for a full hall

Big enough for the back row

The current number is shown huge, the board of called numbers stays on screen, and every call is read out — so the elders at the back never miss a number.

  • Every call spoken aloud on the big screen
  • Phones stay quiet — one clear voice in the hall
  • Tension meter: “N players need 1 number”

Wedding FAQ

Questions planners and families ask

Can we play housie at a wedding sangeet?

Yes. With PlayTambola.Live the game runs on the hall’s TV or projector and guests play on their own phones by scanning a QR code — no app to install and no paper tickets. The server calls every number and checks every win.

Do guests need to download an app or carry paper tickets?

No. Guests open the game in their phone’s browser by scanning the QR code or typing the game code, enter a name and get a ticket. There is nothing to install and nothing to print.

Can elders play in Hindi?

Yes. PlayTambola.Live is available in English and हिन्दी, so every guest can play in the language they prefer.

Is there an age limit for players?

Yes — PlayTambola.Live is for players aged 18 and over. It is entertainment only: no one pays to join and no money is staked or won.

How much does housie for a 40-guest sangeet cost?

A 40-guest game uses 40 seats, which fits in the Popular bundle — 60 seats for ₹199 plus 18% GST — with 20 seats left for the next function. Seats never expire.

What if a guest leaves halfway through the game?

Their seat is released. Seats are held while players are in the game, released if a player leaves before it ends, and used only when the game completes.

Can we run a round at more than one function?

Yes. Seats never expire and one bundle covers any number of games, so you can run a round at the mehendi and another at the sangeet from the same balance.
