About PartyPad

PartyPad turns any screen into a game console and every phone into a controller. Open the site on a TV, laptop or tablet, let friends and family scan the QR code, and you are playing together in seconds. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Why we built it

Great party games usually need a console, extra controllers or an app on every phone. We wanted something anyone could start at a family gathering, a hostel, a classroom or a café, with whatever devices are already in the room.

How it is free

PartyPad is supported by advertising. Ads appear on menu pages and between games, never in the middle of a match and never on a phone while it is being used as a controller.

Fast and private by design

When possible, phones connect directly to the big screen (peer-to-peer), so gameplay is fast and your game inputs do not pass through our servers. Rooms disappear when the party ends.
