The Game Room
Snap the score.
The leaderboard keeps itself.
One Room for every game you play: the pinball machines in the basement, the arcade cabinet in the garage, and the game night that’s been going since 2019. High scores, wins, rivalries, and a year in review, with no hardware to install.
New members try it free for 14 days. Then US $9.99 a month, or US $79.99 a year.

01 · Snap the score
No typing
nine-digit numbers.
After a game, take a photo of the machine’s score display. The Room reads the score for you. If several players are on the display, it reads each slot, and you tap your score or type it yourself. The photo is kept with the score as proof, so “I swear I had 54 million” becomes a thing you can show.
Made a typo? The person who posted it, or the Room’s owner, can fix it.
02 · A sticker on every machine
Scan it
after every game.
Every pinball and arcade game in your Room gets its own QR code. Print a sticker for one machine, or a sheet for your whole collection, on the web or in the iPhone app. Stick it on the cabinet. After a game, anyone in the Room scans it, snaps the score, and it’s on the leaderboard before the next ball is served.
No hardware to install, nothing to wire into the machine, and it works the same on a brand-new game and a 1970s electromechanical. If it shows a score, you can track it, and if the photo reader can’t make it out, you type it.
03 · Leaderboards that start arguments
Who’s number one?
Everyone will know.
Every machine has its own leaderboard: each player’s best score with the photo behind it, a top-ten high-score table, and everyone’s personal best. When a new score takes the top spot, the rest of the Room gets a notification, like “Maya took #1 on Medieval Madness,” and a New #1 tile shows it off for the next 24 hours.
Every player’s full score history on each machine is there too, so you can watch yourself get better.
04 · Public leaderboards
Put the board
on the big screen.
Switch any machine’s leaderboard to public and it gets its own link. Put it on a TV or tablet next to the machines. It stays on, refreshes itself, and rotates through every public machine in your Room. When someone takes #1, the whole room finds out, with confetti.
The board shows a QR code too, so anyone in your Room can scan it and post their score right from the couch.
You decide what’s public. Leaderboards are private until you switch one on, one machine at a time. On a public board, players show as initials unless you choose otherwise, score photos stay hidden unless you turn them on, and nothing else in your Room is ever shown. Someone who isn’t in your Room can scan the sticker and see the top ten. Only Room members can post, except walk-ups during a tournament.
New · Tournament night
Run a tournament.
Walk-ups play free.
Give the night a start and an end. Anyone at the venue scans a sticker and plays with no account, a TD checks every score photo, and the TV counts down to the buzzer. Built for arcades and bars, and it works in the basement too.
05 · Not just pinball
Board games, card games,
and everything in between.
Every game in the Room has a scoring rule that fits how it’s actually played:
| Rule | For games like |
|---|---|
| High score wins | Catan, Scrabble |
| Low score wins | Golf, Hearts, mini golf |
| Win or lose | Chess, Uno, Mario Kart |
| Co-op | Pandemic, where the group wins or loses together |
| Best score | Pinball and arcade games |
Log a game night in seconds: the date, who played, scores or winners, a note, and a photo. Up to 20 players per game.
06 · Standings, rivalries, and streaks
Settle it
once and for all.
The Room keeps the whole group’s record:
- Plays and wins for everyone, and win rate once a player has three or more games
- Crowns for who’s on top of each game
- Head-to-head rivalries: you vs. your brother-in-law, game by game
- Streaks and records
- Co-op results for the games you win or lose together
- A want-to-play list for the games nobody’s gotten to yet
Switch between this year and all time, or filter by game.
07 · Everyone plays
Kids and guests
count too.
Players are just names, so your kids, your neighbor, and the friend who’s only here for one night can all be on the board without an account. If a player is also a member of the Room, you can link their name to their account.
Room members post scores from the stickers. Up to 15 people can join your Room free while you’re a member.
08 · Wrapped
Your year of games,
in one page.
At the end of the year, Wrapped sums up your Room’s year of games in one page. Save it or print it as a PDF for the fridge, the group chat, or the trophy shelf you’re definitely going to build.
Who it’s for
Built for the people
who keep score.
- Home collectors with a few machines, or a few dozen
- Families with a running game night
- Friend groups with a long-standing rivalry
- Leagues and clubs that want standings all year long without spreadsheets
Running an official tournament with brackets and IFPA ranking points? Tools like Match Play Events are built for that. The Game Room is for everything in between: every game, every night, all year.
Questions players ask
Before the first ball.
Do I need any hardware to track pinball scores?
No. Take a photo of the score display with your phone. The Room reads the number, you confirm it, and the photo is saved as proof. A printable QR sticker on each machine makes it one scan away.
Which pinball machines does it work with?
Any machine that shows a score: new or old, solid state or electromechanical, at home or at a friend’s. There’s nothing to connect to the machine.
Can it read scores for several players?
Yes. If the display shows several player scores, it reads each one, and you tap the right one. You can always type the score instead.
What about board games?
Each game gets a scoring rule (high score wins, low score wins, win or lose, or co-op), and the Room tracks wins, win rates, rivalries, streaks, and records for the whole group.
Do my friends and kids need accounts?
No. Players are just names, so anyone can be on the leaderboard. People who post scores from a sticker need to be members of the Room, and up to 15 people can join your Room free while you’re a member. During a tournament that takes walk-ups, anyone can play with no account.
Can people outside my Room see our scores?
Only if you switch a machine’s leaderboard to public. Everything is private by default. A public leaderboard shows the top scores with players as initials unless you choose otherwise, and score photos stay hidden unless you turn them on. Nothing else in your Room is ever public, and only Room members can post scores, except walk-ups during a tournament.
Can I show the leaderboard on a TV?
Yes. A public leaderboard has a full-screen board for a TV or tablet. It stays on, refreshes itself, rotates through all your public machines, and celebrates a new #1 with confetti.
Does it work on Android?
Yes, through the website on any phone or computer. The newest Game Room screens are on the web and the iPhone app first.
What does it cost?
New members try it free for 14 days. Then US $9.99 a month, or US $79.99 a year. Cancel anytime.
