Players always free · Never an ad for players · Host's first game free

The host's screen mid-game: the called number on a ball, the 90-number board behind it, and the prize rail below.

One phone hosts. Every phone plays.

One person hosts Tambola, Housie or Bingo — on a laptop, a TV, or just their own phone — while everyone else joins free from their own phone to get a ticket, mark their numbers, and shout when they win.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Players always join free — no account, no payment, ever. Your first game as host is free as well, with everything switched on: the TV board, all 8 caller voices, a full room. After that, hosts can add seats by watching a short video, buy more premium games or voice packs, or grab a festival pass — all one-time purchases, never a subscription.

Does it show ads?

Only to a host, and only if they choose to: watching one short rewarded video can unlock extra seats or the TV board for that game. Players never see an ad, at any point.

What does the app collect about me?

Anonymous usage analytics (PostHog, EU servers) so we can see what to fix — no name, no advertising ID, nothing linked to you. On iOS the app asks for App Tracking Transparency permission at first launch, as Apple requires, even though nothing here is used for cross-app tracking. Full detail in the Privacy Policy.

Does it work offline?

Yes — hosting a paper game works with no connection and no account. Online rooms are the one exception: every phone needs a connection to stay on the same number.

Does it support Tambola, Housie and Bingo?

Yes. The app supports 90-ball Tambola / Housie (the Indian and Commonwealth standard) and 75-ball Bingo. Switch between them in one tap.

What platforms does it run on?

iPhone and iPad today, on the App Store. Android is in closed beta — join the test from the Google Play badge above.

Does it announce numbers by voice?

Yes. A real announcer voice calls each number aloud, with 8 accents to choose from — US, UK, Australian and Indian English.

Can I use it for kitty parties and family game nights?

Absolutely. It's built for exactly this — Tambola and Housie nights, kitty parties, festival celebrations, office events and classroom games.
