"Also: Don't cancel Netflix yet: These secret codes can unlock the full catalog of shows for you In an announcement Thursday, the streaming giant revealed that it's rolling out a series of party games that you play on your TV screen, using your phone as a controller. The first wave of games, each one free, will include recognizable names like Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp, LEGO Party!, and Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends."
"To play, you'll need a Netflix subscription and a smart TV or streaming device (like a Roku stick). Head to the games section of Netflix and choose your game. From there, you'll see a QR code to scan. Everyone who wants to play will need the Netflix app on their phone, but it's not clear if everyone playing will need an active subscription. (I've reached out for details.)"
Netflix is introducing free party games that run on smart TVs and streaming devices and use players' phones as controllers. The initial lineup includes Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp, LEGO Party!, and Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends. Netflix has offered games tied to releases before, but these new titles emphasize social, easy-to-learn multiplayer experiences for groups and family gatherings. More games are planned, with Bloomberg noting target areas of kids, parties, mainstream hits, and games based on Netflix properties. Playing requires a Netflix subscription, a compatible TV or device, and the Netflix mobile app to scan a QR code.
