Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source collection of shared-screen games, with a creator toolkit for submitting new experiences.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-09 issue.

Field notes

Games are designed for a shared-screen setup: the display runs the experience while players scan a QR code and use their phones as controllers. The site also defines a publishing contract around a public GitHub repository containing retro-museum.json and dist/game.rmg.json, then runs technical validation before catalog review. Quiz packs support up to 1,000 questions within 10 MB, while an individual game can draw up to 100 questions.
