Board & Pieces

For hotels and resorts

A reason to stay in the lobby.

Guests waiting for a room, a transfer or the rain to stop — eleven classic games they can start on their own phone, at your tables, in seconds.

What it does for you

Fills the waiting

Early arrivals, late checkouts, delayed transfers. The dead time a hotel cannot avoid is time a guest will happily spend on a game.

Nothing to maintain

No boards to buy, no pieces to replace, nothing to disinfect between guests. The games live on their phones; you provide the table.

Works for families

A parent with a bored child in a lobby has a problem you can solve. Eleven games, from two-minute Mū tōrere to full chess.

Your bar and lounge benefit

Guests who settle in the lounge for a game are guests who order from it. The longer the stay, the more that matters.

How it works

  1. 1

    We add your hotel

    Sponsoring the venue puts your name, your photo and your lounge on the map inside the app.

  2. 2

    Print your QR code

    One at reception, one on the lounge tables. Generate and print it yourself from the app.

  3. 3

    Guests scan and play

    Their camera opens the app on your hotel. Games are free for anyone at your venue while your sponsorship is active.

What it costs

Sponsorship runs for six or twelve months. While it is active, every game played at your venue is free for your guests, and your venue carries your name at the top of the list nearby players see.

Not sure yet?

Ask us for a coupon and run it for a month before you decide. It costs you nothing and your guests will not know the difference.

Questions owners ask

What does it cost my customers?
Nothing. While your venue is sponsored, every game played at your tables is free for whoever is sitting at them — no account upgrade, no per-game charge.
Do I need to buy anything — boards, tablets, hardware?
No. Guests play on their own phones. The only physical thing is a printed QR code on your tables, which you generate and print yourself from the app.
How do people find my venue?
Two ways. Players nearby see it in the app’s venue list, and anyone at your tables can scan the QR code to add it instantly. Sponsored venues appear at the top of that list.
What if it does not work for us?
Subscriptions run six or twelve months and are managed through the App Store or Google Play, so cancelling is in your hands, not ours. Ask us for a trial coupon before you commit.
Can guests play against each other if they are not travelling together?
Yes. Anyone at your venue can see the open games there and join one, which is how two strangers waiting on the same delayed transfer end up playing.
