Gather turns your TV into the game table for everyone in the room. Apple TV shows the game, everyone plays with their own phone. No app? Just scan the QR code on the TV and play in the browser. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a game on Apple TV – a QR code and a short room code appear. • Scan the QR code with your camera: if you have the app, Gather opens; everyone else plays in the browser. Or enter the code in the app. • When everyone is ready, the game begins. The TV shows the board, your phone only what you need – secret cards, roles and dice stay with you. • Every game comes with its rules right in the app. 19 GAMES Party games: Village at Night (secret roles, 5+), Say It Different (explain words as a team), Sketch Round (draw and guess), Letter Hunt, Quiz Night, Cover Word (teams and clues), Fib Finder (make up answers and see through others). Card games: Stack Rush, Crazy Mau with special cards, Rummy, Thirty-One. Board and dice games: Chess with a clock, Four in a Row, Nine Men's Morris, Checkers, Sea Battle, Five Dice, Little Max. Racing: Corner Chaos – your phone is the steering wheel. Game controllers can join on Apple TV. IPAD AND MAC AS THE GAME TABLE No Apple TV? Your iPad or Mac becomes the game table: it shows the board for everyone, and phones join with a QR code. On the Mac, the game table opens in its own window – perfect for a TV or projector connected to your Mac. NO TV? NO PROBLEM Many games run right on iPhone, iPad and Mac: against the computer or with friends who join with a code. BUILT FOR PRIVACY • No account, no sign-in. • The game runs on your Apple TV (or iPad, Mac, iPhone). On the same Wi-Fi, devices connect directly. Over the internet, the relay server at gathergames.de only passes messages through and stores nothing permanently – no names, no IP addresses, no game content. • Your profile (name and animal avatar) and game history stay on your devices – optionally synced through your iCloud. • Leaderboards and achievements via Game Center, if you like. • No ads, no purchases, no tracking. • The camera is only used to scan the QR code. Images are never stored or sent. GOOD TO KNOW • With internet, the QR code leads to gathergames.de, so guests can join from another network too – from a PC or on the go. • Without internet, Gather keeps working on your Wi-Fi: then all devices need to be on the same network. Guest networks with client isolation block the connection. • Gather asks for access to the local network so devices on the same Wi-Fi can find each other. • A game runs as long as Gather is open on Apple TV. One app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV – in 17 languages. Questions or ideas? kontakt@dustineden.de ## Is Gather safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Gather. ## Is Gather legit?
