## What is NextSeat?

NextSeat turns the phones and tablets you already have into a shared game table - even with no signal at all. Everyone connects directly over a local network, so NextSeat works on planes, trains, in tunnels, on road trips, at the campsite, or anywhere with no Wi-Fi and no mobile data. Play classic board games and quick party games with the people sitting right next to you. No internet connection. No accounts. No ads.

Pass-and-play is the past. With NextSeat everyone plays on their own screen, in the same room, on the same local network.

NO SIGNAL? NO PROBLEM
Stuck on a long flight, a train through the countryside, or a road trip out of range? That's exactly when NextSeat shines. There are no servers in the middle - your devices talk straight to each other - so the games work the same whether you're on full Wi-Fi or completely off-grid.

GAMES INCLUDED
• Chess - full rules, for two players
• Checkers (Draughts) - classic English draughts
• Tic-Tac-Toe - the quick classic
• Wordseat - build words on the board from your letter tiles, for 2–4 players
• Skirmish - turn-based tactics for 2–4 players: capture the HQ or rout your rivals
• Capybara Mayhem - a frantic real-time hopper for 1–4 players

More games are on the way - and because every game is self-contained, the list keeps growing.

WHY NEXTSEAT
• Truly local - plays over your local network with no servers in between
• Works with zero signal - a direct local connection means planes, trains, tunnels and off-grid spots are all fair game
• Private by design - no accounts, no tracking, no data collected
• No ads and no in-app purchases
• Built-in chat - with mute and report controls to keep things friendly
• Reconnect-friendly - background the app and rejoin without losing your seat
• A handsome tabletop look - wood, parchment and lantern-gold throughout

HOW IT WORKS
1. One player hosts a lobby and picks a connection.
2. Everyone else joins from the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Choose a game, take your seats, and play.

Gather round. Grab your seat. It's game night.
