No-app party games — just scan a code and play
No-app party games run in a web browser, so nobody has to install anything to play. With RoomRush, the host opens a game on a screen, a QR code and room code appear, and every guest joins from their phone browser. It works on any iPhone or Android with no app, no download, and no account.
No app · no download · works on any phone — iPhone or Android.
How it works
Open RoomRush on any TV, laptop, or projector and choose a game.
A QR code and short room code appear on the big screen.
Guests scan or type the code — their phone becomes the controller.
Why no-app party games win at a party
The fastest way to kill party energy is making ten people stop and install something. App downloads stall on weak Wi-Fi, fail on older phones, and always leave someone out. No-app games skip all of it: the screen shows a code, phones join, the game starts. That's the whole point of RoomRush.
Running in the browser also means it just works across devices. iPhone, Android, an old phone someone dug out of a drawer — if it has a camera and a browser, it can join. No 'is it on the App Store?', no version mismatches, no accounts to create.
How do you play party games with no download?
One person hosts: open RoomRush on a TV, laptop or projector and choose a game. The big screen displays a QR code and a short room code. Everyone else opens their phone camera, scans the QR (or types the code at the join page), and lands straight in the game. Their phone becomes the controller — a vote pad, a buzzer, or a camera depending on the game.
Nothing is installed at any point. When the party's over, there's no app left cluttering anyone's phone — you just close the tab.
Party games that work on any phone
Because there's no native app, RoomRush behaves the same on every phone. That's a real advantage with a mixed group where some people are on iPhone and some on Android, or where guests are protective of their storage. Everyone gets the identical experience from a browser tab.

Frequently asked questions
Do players need to download an app?
No. RoomRush is entirely browser-based. Guests join from their phone by scanning a QR code or entering a room code — nothing to install.
Does it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Since it runs in the browser, the experience is identical on iPhone, Android, tablets and laptops.
Do players need to make an account?
No. Guests join a room with just the code or QR — no sign-up, no login.
What if someone's on slow Wi-Fi or cellular data?
Joining is just opening a web page, which is far lighter than downloading an app. Most phones join in a couple of seconds on normal data.
Is anything left on my phone after the party?
No. There's no app to uninstall — when you're done you just close the browser tab.
