How can we help?
Short how-tos with real screenshots — hosting, joining, TVs and plans.
No article matches that. Try “TV”, “join” or “plan” — or ask us.
Getting started
Your first night, joining, teams and playing along.
- Host your first game nightFrom the home page to the first question in about a minute — no app, and no signup for your first games.
- How players join (QR, code, no app)Players scan the QR code or type the 6-letter code — in their phone’s browser, with no app and no account.
- Teams and team voteTables play as teams: everyone answers on their own phone, the majority wins and the captain breaks ties.
- Play along as the hostSmall party? Turn on “I’m playing too” and your host phone becomes your player screen — it never shows you the answers.
TV and screens
Put the game up where the whole room can see it.
- Put the game on a TVEvery way to get the game on a big screen — and the one rule: never mirror the host phone, it shows the answers.
- Smart TV or laptop by HDMIOpen tipsyrounds.com/tv on the TV, type its code on your host phone, and the TV follows the night.
- Chromecast / Google TV (📺 Cast)Tap 📺 Cast and the TV loads its own room-safe screen — your phone keeps the controls, and there’s no code to type.
- Fire TV Stick, Roku and other TVsUse the TV’s browser if it has one; otherwise mirror a spare device — never the host phone.
- Sound on the TVThe TV plays short cues for joins, the countdown and the reveal. Some TV browsers need one press first.
Hosting tools
Questions, scheduled nights and paper teams.
- Choosing questionsQuick pick, featured collections or one exact pack — plus difficulty and a rating ceiling nothing spicier can get past.
- Schedule a night and share itSet up the night days ahead, print its QR poster now, and the lobby opens by itself before the start.
- Printable sheets and paper teamsTables without phones play on a printed answer sheet; you type in their score and they show up on the standings.
