Not a board game, I know: it's a game-night thing for the table, and I'd like to hear from people who run game nights.

Put it on a laptop or TV, everyone scans the QR, and each phone gets a few strings of the same guitar. Tap your dot when it hits the ring and the big screen plays your note; miss and the song has a hole in it. Nobody holds a guitar, but the table plays one.

In the clip four phones play House of the Rising Sun, and at 0:12 the bass phone leaves. The song keeps going with a gap where the low notes were. The clip is four phone screens recorded in a browser, not a filmed table.

Where does it fall apart with your group? Too easy, too few players, too loud?

It's for game night, the kind with friends around a table and no instrument, and I'd like to hear from people who run game nights.

Put it on a laptop or TV, everyone scans the QR, and each phone gets a few strings of the same guitar. Tap your dot when it hits the ring and the big screen plays your note; miss and the song has a hole in it. Nobody holds a guitar, but the table plays one.

I split one guitar across four phones. At 0:12 one phone leaves and takes its strings with it. (overflow.games)

Play it here, no account: https://overflow.games/unison/?door=lemmy-webgames

Open it on a laptop or a TV and every phone that scans the QR gets its own strings of one guitar. Tap a dot when it reaches its ring and the big screen plays your note; miss it and the song has a hole. In the clip four phones play House of the Rising Sun, and at 0:12 the phone holding the bass strings leaves. The song keeps going without them.

The clip is four phone screens recorded in a browser, not a filmed room. With real friends it gets messier, which I think is the fun part. One phone alone plays every string.

I'd love to hear where it falls apart with your friends.
