QR games pon the table: how it actually work?
Games through a QR code sound like something dat need a whole project: equipment, installation, explaining to staff. Inna reality it's a card pon the table and nutten more. Dis explanation walk through the whole chain, so you know exactly wah you saying yes to.
Step by step
- Every table get dem own QR code. It's unique per table, so the system know which table somebody sit at.
- A guest scan it wid the camera pon dem own phone. Nutten need fi install; it open right inna the browser.
- Dem enter a nickname. No account, no email, no password.
- Dem choose how dem waan play: alone, together wid dem own table, or against another table inna the place.
- Dem pick a game and start. A round take two to five minutes.
Dat's it. There's no moment where yuh staff need fi do anything.
Wah you need fi sort out yuhself
One time only: print the QR codes or have dem print, and put dem pon the tables. After dat, you choose inna the customer portal which games you want on. Turn off a game, and it disappear right away from every table.
There's no equipment, no installation and no training. The only physical ting is putting a card pon the table.
Wah if the wifi bad?
Dis a de question weh ask most, and rightly so: plenty places have a basement, a terrace or a back room wid poor signal. Guests play pon dem own mobile connection, so yuh wifi nuh needed. The games deliberately build light, exactly fi spots weh signal nuh good.
So guests spend the whole evening pon dem phone?
Dat depend fully pon the length and the format. A round a two to five minutes fill the gap between ordering and serving and stop after dat. And two out a three play modes deh build exactly so people nuh sit apart: together pon one phone, or a whole table against another table. Dat bring noise and laughter, not silence.
Wah happen wid the data
Guests nuh have an account and only enter a nickname. No names, emails or phone numbers a yuh guests get store. Wah actually get save and why deh pon the privacy statement.
The three play modes, and when you want which
Playing alone
One guest, one phone. Good fi the gap between ordering and serving, and fi the guest sitting alone. Puzzles, memory games and reaction tests fall under dis.
Together pon one phone
The whole table tek turns pon di same device. Dis a di form weh di objection bout phones least apply to: one phone deh pon di table an everybody a look pon it. Works good fi families an groups.
Against anodda table
Two or more tables go up gainst each other, wid a live score. Dis a di form weh mek noise inna di place, an places choose it when dem want atmosphere pon a quiet night.
Yuh decide fi yuhself which games deh on, so yuh decide which forms yuh guests get fi see.
Wah yuh see from it
- How much games get played, per day, week, month an year.
- Which games get played di most an how long each game tek fi play.
- How much different guests tek part.
- How much reviews an order requests come outta it.
Dat way yuh see widin two weeks if it a catch on wid yuh guests, instead a haffi guess.
