How It Works

Unboared turns any screen into an interactive gaming platform. Your customers play from their phones.

The concept

Unboared is an interactive gaming solution for public-facing venues: bars, restaurants, hotels, campsites, coworking spaces, events...

The idea is simple:

1. Connect a computer to a TV with an HDMI cable
2. Open Unboared in your browser
3. Your customers scan a QR code displayed on the TV
4. They play directly from their phone — no downloads needed

The phone becomes the controller. The TV displays the game. Everything runs through the web browser.

How players join

A QR code is always visible on the main screen. Players scan it with their phone camera, pick a username and an avatar, then join the game with a single tap.

No app to install, no account to create on the player side. It works on all smartphones, both Android and iPhone.

What you control

As the host, you stay in control from your computer:

• Choose a game from the catalog
• Start and pause games
• Display the QR code in full screen to invite players
• Track scores in real time on the TV

What your customers see

On the TV:

• The current game in the center
• The QR code to join on the left
• The top scores on the right

On their phone:

• A game interface tailored to each game (buzzer, multiple choice, joystick...)
