Run tambola from your phone. Show it on your TV.

What you need

A phone (or computer) to run the game, a TV to show it, and your players’ own phones.

• Your phone or computer

  You run the game from it. To Cast, use Chrome on an Android phone or a computer; any phone, iPhone included, works with the code.

• A TV

  One with a Chromecast or Google TV, or a smart-TV browser or Fire TV. A laptop browser works as the screen too.

• Your players’ phones

  Players scan the QR code on the TV or type the game code in their browser. No app, no login — just a name.

Two ways to get it on the TV

Cast from Chrome to a Chromecast or Google TV, or open the TV address on any TV browser and type the code it shows into your phone.

Where the caller’s voice plays

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.

While your phone or computer is the voice, its screen must stay on. The app keeps it awake while a TV is linked and reminds you: “Keep this screen on to hear the caller.” A locked phone cannot speak.

What the TV shows — and your phone becomes the remote

The TV shows the lobby, the live game and the results, while your phone runs the game like a remote.

• 

  Lobby

  The join QR code, the game code and the players who have joined.

• 

  Live game

  The big number, the caller line, the called-numbers board and the winners.

• 

  Results

  The winners of every prize when the game ends.

Your phone, the remote

While a screen is linked, your phone becomes a remote with:

• The current number
• Next number
• Stop
• End game

• Up to 3 screens per game.
• The TV picture keeps updating if your phone sleeps — but the caller’s voice does not, so keep the voice device’s screen on.
