How a Party Hat night works
One install. The rest is just phones.

Launch & show the QR
Hit Play. The host app pops a room code and a QR right onto the TV. Phones scan it and they're in — nothing to download.
3
Hand the room over
The big screen narrates, hosts, and judges. Phones do the typing, voting, and tapping. You and your guests do the laughing.

🎈
Built for the room
Big readable type, juicy sound, narration, confetti when it's earned. Loud living rooms approved.

Offline-first host
The host runs locally, so the night doesn't die when the Wi-Fi flinches. Phones just need the same network.
Questions, briefly
FAQ
What do I actually buy on Steam?
The host app — the thing that runs on your PC or Steam Deck and drives the big screen. Your guests don't buy anything; they join from their phone for free.
Do my friends need to install anything?
No. They point their phone camera at the QR on screen and tap the link. The controller runs right in their mobile browser.
What platforms is it on?
Windows and Steam Deck at launch. We're evaluating macOS and Linux desktop as a follow-up.
How many people can play?
Two to ten active players is the sweet spot. Extra guests can hop in as audience — they react, vote, and heckle.
Does it need an internet connection?
The host runs locally, so the game itself keeps going if Wi-Fi gets cranky. Phones just need to be on the same network as the host PC.
Who's making this?
A tiny studio that grew up on Jackbox, Mario Party, and that one cousin who can't be trusted with the aux cord. We ship slowly and only ship the games we'd play ourselves.
Gather a couch. Grab a controller.
That controller is your phone.
