## What is Netflix Game Controller?

It's game time! Play games instantly on Netflix with the Netflix Game Controller. No gadgets or gizmos needed: Once you install this mobile app, you can use your phone or tablet as a controller to play games on TV, or through your computer browser by visiting Netflix.com. Swipe, tap, type, draw and steer right from your phone.

Once you're set up, the party starts. Plan a group game night to enjoy multiplayer party games with friends and family, or dive into brain-teasing puzzle games and solo adventures. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or taking a break at your desk (we won't tell your boss), you'll have a whole world of games at your fingertips.

Let the fun begin! A few games to try on your TV or computer today:

OVERCOOKED! ALL YOU CAN EAT
Team up with friends as you rush to slice, stir and serve your way through an endless stream of orders. Can you keep your cool in the kitchen?

PICTIONARY: GAME NIGHT
Draw 'til you drop — or one of your friends guesses what you're sketching — in this hilarious and fast-paced spin on the classic group game.

LEGO PARTY!
Play minigames and hunt for gold together through Challenge Zones in this BAFTA award-winning family game. Dodge dragons and flying roast turkeys!

BOGGLE PARTY
Race against the clock to find words (the longer, the better) in a jumbled-up letter grid. Play daily puzzles solo or party with up to eight players.

Games are included in your Netflix membership, with no ads or extra fees. The Netflix Game Controller app is compatible across most mobile and tablet devices.
