HostBox

Party games for the whole room

What is HostBox?

HostBox is a set of free party games you play right in the browser — Jackbox-style. Your TV becomes the game board and every phone in the room becomes a controller. There's no app to install, no accounts to create, and nothing to pay: open the site on the TV, scan a QR code with your phones, and you're playing within a minute.

How it works

  1. Open hostbox.games on your TV's browser (or any big screen or laptop).
  2. Everyone scans the QR code on the screen with their phone camera.
  3. Pick a game and play — your hand stays private on your phone while the action lives on the TV.
