Coming soon to Fire TV

Your phone is the controller.

Pocket Play turns your TV into a party. Everyone scans one QR code, and their phone becomes the controller for a whole line-up of games, from kart racing to co-op cooking.

No controllers to buy. No app on anyone's phone.

How it works

From couch to game in seconds

The phones you already have are the controllers. Nobody downloads anything.

Open Pocket Play on your TV

Start the app on your Fire TV. A QR code waits on the home screen.

Everyone scans it

Each player points their phone's camera at the code, types a name and they're in. Up to six players.

Pick a game and play

Phones turn into the right controller for each game, and stay connected as you hop from one game to the next.

The games

So many games. One scan.

Race, brawl, cook, bowl and survive together. New games keep joining the line-up.

Why Pocket Play

Built for game night

Everyone has a controller

Every phone in the room is a controller, so nobody waits for a turn with the gamepad. iPhone and Android both work, straight from the camera.

Swing, tilt and tap

Some games use your phone's motion: swing it to bowl, or hold it like a bat to smash the ball back across the table.

Fast and local

Phones talk straight to the TV over your home Wi-Fi, so the controls feel instant and your game stays in your living room.

Scan once, play all night

Join once and you stay in. Switch from game to game without anyone scanning again.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do players need to install an app?

No. Players scan the QR code on the TV with their phone's camera, and the controller opens in the browser. Only the TV needs Pocket Play.

Which TVs does it work on?

Pocket Play is coming to Amazon Fire TV first, through the Amazon Appstore.

How many people can play?

Up to six phones can join at once. Most games take up to four players and Island Panic takes all six. In Couch Football the computer fills any empty seats on either team.

Do the phones need to be on the same Wi-Fi?

Yes. Phones connect directly to the TV over your home network, which keeps the controls fast. Guest networks that keep devices apart can block that.

What do I need to buy?

Nothing to start: most games are free. Premium is an optional subscription that unlocks every game.

Do I need an account?

You can play the free games as a guest. Signing in with Google or email lets you subscribe to Premium and keep it on any TV.

Game night, sorted.

Pocket Play is coming soon to the Amazon Appstore for Fire TV.
