- Play and collect pointsAfter each game, tap who won. The scores are updated, and at the end we crown the winner of the night with a trophy and confetti.
How the points work
Whoever wins a game gets 5 points. Second place gets 3 points, and third place gets 2 points.
Everyone else who took part gets 1 point. So it pays to stay at the table.
In escape rooms and other co-op games, everyone gets 3 points when you win together.

Questions about Game night
Do we need an account to have a game night?
No. Just type the names of the people playing. If you’re logged in as a family, you can tap the family members instead, and the results go into the family stats.
What happens if we close the page in the middle of the evening?
The game night is saved in the browser on your screen. Open the page again and you carry on exactly where you left off.
Can we use Game night on the TV?
Yes. The text is big, so everyone in the living room can see the next game and the scores. Games that use phones show a code on the TV that everyone types on their phone.
Can we play against the computer?
No. Every game on GameBase is for at least two people sitting together. The screen keeps track of the rules and the points, but it never plays along.
What if we don’t want to enter who won?
Tap Skip. Then you move on to the next game with no points for that game.
