When players arrive at a facility, they will login at a kiosk station where they can quickly and easily view their past stats and profiles for free! The app also provides a gateway for game coordinators to assign players to teams and keep their operation organized. Logging in with Administrator credentials provides access to the player assignment screen where CallSigns and games are managed.

LOOK AND FEEL Choose from 7 color themes: Classic Yellow, Amber, Green, Blue, Red, Purple, and White. The Confetti theme randomizes tile colors for a playful twist. 10+ flip patterns (spiral, matrix, snake, and more) control how the board reveals new content. SOUNDS THAT SATISFY Three built-in sound themes — Mechanical, Typewriter, and Soft — each synthesized to match the rhythm of the animation. Every clack fires at the exact midpoint of each tile flip, just like a real board. WIDGETS Add a flip clock, daily quote, custom message, or countdown timer to your home screen or lock screen. Choose your color theme and appearance right from the widget editor. Five widget types — each designed for a specific purpose. ONE PURCHASE. EVERY PLATFORM.
