This companion app allows additional control of the Game Beacon Tabletop System. While all functionality can be handled from the hardware alone, the app can sometimes provide a cleaner interface to navigate more intricate game settings and modes. Also within the app we have a Game Library that can be used to play advanced games that have configured stages and advance automatically with different settings for each to follow specific game flows. You can even create and submit games to our library as well as control and store presets for your Game Beacon hardware to use without needing the app later.
