Phones at the Table Support

Phones at the Table turns everyone’s phones into a shared social game. One person hosts, friends join the table, and everyone plays together — face to face, with no television or game console required.

· The games

• Look at Me — a collection of wonderfully ridiculous face-to-face challenges.
• Secret Signal — covert missions hidden in plain sight during your time together.
• Tell Me Something — collaborative storytelling designed to spark imagination and reveal unexpected things about one another.

1 Hosting a table

One person is the host. The host starts a new table on their phone, and the app provides a table code for everyone else to join with. The host’s phone runs the session, so it helps if the host has a good connection and enough battery for the evening.

2 Joining a table

Everyone else joins from their own phone using the table code shown on the host’s phone. Once everyone has joined, the host starts the game.

3 Connection troubleshooting

• Make sure every phone is connected to the internet. If Wi-Fi is unreliable, try switching to mobile data (or the other way round).
• Double-check the table code — it’s easy to mistype a character.
• Make sure everyone is using the latest version of the app.
• Close the app completely and open it again.
• If the table still won’t connect, the host can start a new table and share the new code.

4 If a player disconnects

Phones go to sleep, batteries run low and signals wander. If a player drops out, have them reopen the app and check their connection, then try joining again with the table code. If the game can’t continue, the host can start a new table so everyone can carry on playing.

5 Report a game problem

Email [email protected] and, if you can, include:

• What you were doing and what happened (a screenshot helps)
• Which game you were playing
• Your phone model and iOS version
• The app version (and build number, if you’re testing)
• Roughly when it happened, and how many players were at the table

If you’re testing through TestFlight, you can also send feedback and screenshots directly from the TestFlight app.
