Host a game night everyone joins in

Party games shouldn't need a game master

At most get-togethers, one person ends up running the games: printing Tambola tickets, reading out questions, explaining the rules three times and keeping score on a napkin. They miss the fun, and the quieter guests, the kids and the grandparents often sit it out.

Playtoli does that work for you, so the host gets to play too.

What you get as the host

• The TV is the stage. Questions, numbers, scores and the big moments show up for the whole room.
• Every phone is a controller. Guests scan a QR code and play. No app, no account, no typing passwords.
• Rules on screen before every game, so nobody needs them explained.
• Scores kept for you across the whole night, with a final podium.
• You stay in charge from your phone: pick the games, lock the party, remove someone, judge the performance rounds.

How it works

1. On the TV first (or a laptop plugged into it), open diwali.playtoli.com/tv. A code appears.
2. On your phone, open diwali.playtoli.com, tap Start a party and type the code from the TV.
3. Guests scan the QR code on the TV, type their name and they're in.

No smart TV? A laptop on HDMI, a cast Chrome tab, or just a laptop on the table works.

What we're building next

Shaped by what hosts ask for:

• Your own questions: trivia about the couple, the birthday person or your own family.
• Games for your event: sangeet and wedding nights, office parties, birthdays, baby showers, reunions and other festivals.
• Bigger parties for halls and offices.

Your feedback decides what we build

After each party, guests and the host can rate it with stars and leave a comment, right from their phone or the TV. Glowing or harsh, we read every rating and use it to decide what to fix and build next.
