How it works

One screen, everyone's phone

1

Open the big screen

Load BlackBox on the TV or a shared laptop. A lobby appears with a four-letter room code.

2

Everyone joins

Players go to the same address on their phones and type the code. No app, no install.

3

Pick a game

The host chooses a module and starts a round. The big screen leads; phones follow.

4

Play from your pocket

Answer, buzz, guess and vote on your phone. The shared screen keeps score for the room.

Run it smoothly

Tips for a good night

Keep the big screen and phones on the same network for the snappiest buzz-ins.

A landscape TV or projector reads best from across the room - bump the font scale for big groups.

Have the host drive from a laptop so they can judge answers without leaving the shared view.

Build and save your Peril boards ahead of time so game night starts the moment people arrive.
