Someone opens the platform on a TV or laptop and hosts a room. Scan the QR code shown on that screen with your phone camera (or browse to the join address and type the 4-letter room code), pick a name and color, and your phone becomes the controller.
No. Your player slot stays reserved. Wake your phone and the controller reconnects to your spot automatically; if it doesn't within a couple of seconds, refresh the page — you'll come right back as the same player without rescanning the QR code.
No. The host screen reconnects to the same room after a refresh, and everyone's phones stay connected.
On the host's phone, the lobby has a Manage Players list — tap a player to pass them the host crown or remove them from the room.
The host can pause from their phone and choose Exit to Lobby, or use the Exit to Lobby button on the TV's pause overlay. The room and all players survive; only the round ends.
No downloads, no accounts. Everything runs in the browser over your local network connection.
