For the office
Work Christmas party games
Christmas games for the whole office, on everyone's phones and the office TV. Bookings are open: up to 20 phones, nothing to download.
How it works
The host opens a party
Sign in, pick a game and the pack, and the party gets its own code.
Everyone scans the QR
Phone cameras open the link. Pick a nickname: no account, no app.
Play on your own phone
Every phone shows that player its own secret, then the reveal lands on every screen at once.
Digital party games to play at a party, on your phones
Our digital party games are for one room full of people: a birthday, a sleepover, a barbecue that's run out of chat, or a work do. The host opens a party, everyone scans the code, and each phone becomes that player's own secret screen. The talking, bluffing and accusing happens out loud, face to face.
There are packs for kids and families and packs for grown-ups, and the host picks before the game starts. Nothing to download, no TV to plug in, and nothing kept once the party ends. Start with Murder in the Dark, free tonight.
- Multiplayer
- No app needed
- Face to face
Questions about our party games
Do my friends need an app?
No. The host opens a party and everyone else scans the QR code with their phone camera. It all runs in the web browser: no app and no TV.
Who needs an account?
Only the host, to open the party. Everyone else joins with a nickname: no account, no email.
Does everyone pay?
No. Murder in the Dark, Snooze Bandit, Spot the Blow-in and Which Would Ya? are free for good. For the Party Pack 01 games, only the host buys the pack; everyone they invite plays free.
Can I play on the TV?
Yes, and it is optional. Open keyholegames.com/tv on a TV or laptop, or send a screen to the TV, and the TV shows the game while every phone is a controller. Easy steps for every kind of TV are at keyholegames.com/tv-help.
How many players?
Up to 20, depending on the game, and Rank 'Em Blind even works solo. Each card gives the numbers, and everyone plays on their own phone in the same room.
What ages are they for?
Each game gives its age on its card. There are family packs for kids and grown-ups packs for adults, and the host picks the pack before the game starts.
Are they safe to play?
Murder in the Dark is played in the dark, so clear the floor, keep away from stairs and glass, and have a light switch everyone can reach. In the games where players type, every answer is filtered before anyone sees it, and the room is wiped when the party ends.
