🔗

Linked Up

Two words given. Four hidden. One chain to crack.

Inspired by Chain Reaction

A chain of six words where every neighbor connects — HONEY·MOON, MOON·LIGHT, LIGHT·HOUSE. The first and last words are on the board; the four in the middle are blank. Teams race to fill them in on their phones, and each correct link snaps into place live on the big screen. Rounds climb in difficulty and finish with a double-or-nothing Final Chain — and nobody ever gets eliminated.

📱

Scan & Play

QR code or a four-letter code and you're in. Any phone browser — no app, no account, ever.

🔒

Locks In Live

Type a hidden word and it locks the instant it's right — no submit button. The host's grid lights up in real time.

📈

Climbing Difficulty

Each chain is a little tougher than the last, building to a double-or-nothing Final Chain worth double the points.

📺

Big-Screen Board

The whole room follows along on a TV, with a cascading top-to-bottom reveal every time a chain is locked.

🤝

Nobody's Out

No eliminations — every team plays every round, and the night ends on a champions podium.

🎨

Custom Chains

We can build chains around your crowd — local landmarks, inside jokes, theme nights. The host runs it all from a laptop.

Music Bingo

No Apps. No Screens. Just Music and Markers.

Old-school paper bingo, new-school playlist. Players get a printed card filled with song titles, grab a dabber, and listen as the host spins a curated playlist. Hear a song on your card? Dab it. Fill a line and shout BINGO. It's the analog break your crowd didn't know they needed — pure social, tactile fun that gets every phone face-down on the table. The only screen? Our custom music visualizer up on the big TV, pulsing to every track.

📝

Paper Cards & Dabbers

Classic bingo feel. Every player gets a unique card and a colorful dabber — no downloads, no setup, no tech learning curve.

🎧

Curated Playlists

80s, 90s, country, divas, one-hit wonders, decade mixes — pick the vibe and we'll build the set.

🎤

Host-Led Energy

A live emcee spins the tracks, calls the winners, and keeps the room singing along between rounds.

📺

Big-Screen Visualizer

Our custom visualizer software hooks straight into your TV — or we bring the screen. Reactive visuals and now-playing titles pulse to the beat, so the only screen in the room is the one everyone watches together.

🎨

Themed Nights

Wedding eras, birthday decades, corporate throwbacks — custom playlists tailored to your crowd.

🏆

Classic Bingo Rounds

Single line, four corners, blackout — rotate patterns between rounds to keep every player in the game.

🙌

Social & Nostalgic

The rare game night where phones stay down. Everyone's singing, dabbing, and laughing together.

💭

Off the Top

Seven answers. First letters only. Beat the clock.

Inspired by America Says

A fill-in-the-blank prompt with seven top survey answers — the kind of question where everyone at the table has a guess. The board reveals the first letter of each answer and masks the rest; teams race to type them on their phones, and every slot locks the instant a team nails it. Stuck tables can spend points to buy a hint letter. Questions climb in difficulty and finish with a double-or-nothing Final — and nobody ever gets eliminated.

📱

Scan & Play

QR code or a four-letter code and you're in. Any phone browser — no app, no account, ever.

🔓

Locks On Sight

Type an answer and the matching slot locks the moment you nail it — no submit button, no waiting your turn.

💡

Buy a Hint

Stuck on the board? Spend a few points to reveal another letter and keep your table in the hunt.

📺

Big-Screen Board

The whole room watches the seven-slot board fill in live, one satisfying reveal at a time.

📈

Climbing Difficulty

Questions get tougher as the night goes on, building to a double-or-nothing Final worth double the points.

🤝

Nobody's Out

No eliminations — every team plays every question, and the night ends on a champions podium.

Survey Says

Guess the top survey answers. Run the board.

Inspired by Family Feud

Teams compete to guess the top answers from real surveys — just like the show, but designed for pubs, breweries, and community events. High-energy rounds of guessing, live reveals on the big screen, and enough trash talk to fill the room. The host runs the show while our software keeps everything moving behind the scenes.

📱

Scan & Play

Teams join instantly via QR code on their phones. No app download, no account creation. Scan, name your team, done.

📺

TV Board Reveals

Dramatic answer reveals on the big screen — crowd reactions are half the fun. Just like the real show.

Stay Connected

Players stay connected all game — even if they switch apps or lock their phone. Pick up right where you left off.

🎨

Themed Nights

Custom surveys for any theme — 80s nostalgia, sports, holidays, or your venue's personality. We'll make it yours.

🔄

Real-Time Updates

Scores, rounds, and standings update live across every device. No refreshing, no waiting — just seamless play.

🏆

Competitive & Fun

Ranked answers are worth different points. Strategy matters — do you go for #1 or play it safe?

Trivia

Themed rounds. Tough questions. One team walks away bragging.

Classic trivia, upgraded. Themed rounds of questions — from pop culture to history to the weird stuff nobody expects. Teams answer on their phones, our software handles scoring, and a live leaderboard keeps the competition fierce. Choose open-ended questions for the purists or multiple choice for faster-paced nights.

📱

Karaoke

Live singing, smart queue, zero awkward waits.

Karaoke night, leveled up. Singers request any song right from their phones, the request drops straight into the host's queue, and they step up when their name is called. The big screen displays the current singer, the song, and who's up next — so everyone knows when they're on deck. Whether it's a brewery crowd looking to belt one out or a corporate party that needs a little chaos, our host runs the room while the tech keeps the queue moving.

📱

Request Any Song

No catalog to dig through — singers just send the song they want straight to the host, right from their phone.

📋

Smart Queue

Singers see who's up and when they're up. No more "wait, am I next?" — the queue is transparent and live on the big screen.

📺

On-Screen Lyrics

Pro karaoke display with synced lyrics on the big screen. Even first-timers can nail the words.

🎶

Any Era, Any Genre

Pop, country, rock, hip-hop, throwbacks — no genre limit. If your crowd wants to sing it, they can request it.

🎙️

Full AV & Live Host

We bring the mics, the speakers, and a dedicated host to hype the room, call singers up, and keep the energy peaked.

🎨

Themed Nights

80s only, country anthems, divas, one-hit wonders — build a themed karaoke night that fits your crowd or the occasion.


Run Your Own Tournament.

Not a hosted game night — bracket software your venue runs itself. Run a live tournament from your phone while the bar watches the bracket on TV.

🏆

GNG Tournaments

Run the night from your phone. The room watches the bracket on TV.

GNG Tournaments turns a paper bracket into a live show. Enter your teams — solo players or pairs, or let the app draw them A/B and reveal the pairings on the TV — pick a format, and start. From there the night is a loop: the app offers the next match, you tap the winner, and it advances the bracket, drops losers where they belong, and surfaces whatever's ready to play next. Shuffleboard, cornhole, darts, or anything else you can crown a champion in.

📺

Big-Screen Board

A second screen for the room — no login, just open it on the pub's TV. On a big bracket a broadcast-style camera pans and zooms section by section so names read from across the room, with a minimap showing where you are.

👆

Tap the Winner

A result is just a winner — tap it and the board moves on. Recording a score is optional, any result can be undone, and multiple matches run at once when more than one table is going.

🗂️

Nine Ways to Play

Seven formats plus two variants — from one-loss-and-out to Swiss and pool play. Two to twenty-four teams, solo players or pairs. Byes fill in automatically.

📚

Saved Tournaments

Every night is stored, so a bracket can pause and resume days later. Finished tournaments stay on file to look back at, reopening to their champion screen.

📊

Player Records

Wins, losses, win percentage, and tournament wins — split by season and lifetime, updating the moment a winner is tapped. Export any tournament, or the whole history, to CSV in one tap.

🔒

Public Board, Private Controls

The TV board is open to the room and read-only; the host dashboard is PIN-locked. Scan a code on the laptop to take over hosting from your phone — no login to fumble.

Every Format, In Full

Single Elimination

One loss and you're out. Byes fill automatically for any team count that isn't a power of two.

N − 1 games

Double Elimination

Everyone gets two lives — lose once and you drop to the losers' bracket for a second chance. Includes the bracket-reset final if the losers' champion beats the undefeated finalist.

2N − 2 games

Triple Elimination

Three lives — nobody's out until their third loss. Runs the full tournament map, right through a final series that repeats until someone's third loss ends it.

8 teams · 22 games

Round Robin

Everyone plays everyone. Standings by record, with points as the tiebreaker when scores are recorded.

N × (N − 1) ÷ 2 games

King of the Table

Winner stays on, the queue rotates in, and the longest reign takes the night. No fixed end — play until closing time.

Open-ended

Swiss

Nobody's eliminated. Every round pairs you against someone with a similar record, so games stay competitive from first round to last — the best fit for a big field on a tight clock.

4–24 teams · you set the rounds

Pool Play → Bracket

Two tournaments in one night. The field splits into pools of three or four for round-robin play, then the top finishers advance into a single-elimination playoff.

6–24 teams

Double Round Robin

Everyone plays everyone twice. Doubles the sample size and settles the "we only lost because of one bad game" argument. Best for smaller fields.

Variant of Round Robin · N × (N − 1) games

Single Elimination + Consolation

First-round losers drop into their own bracket and play for a B-side title. Nobody drives out after one game, and there are two trophies at the end of the night.
