This isn't the same, but it reminds me of when I was a manager and got stuck with the weekends for awhile. Nothing at all happened on the weekends. So I told my team (I think there was 8 of us) that we could play some games to pass the time.
We settled on a party game, I think it might have been for the Switch. And I hooked it up to the giant TV we used for stats during the week. Everyone was excited. I was pumped.
Then the game forced everyone playing to download an app on their phone. The disappointment was audible.
Dumbest fcking thing ever for a game.
You don't know Jack?
That sounds familiar, maybe
If so the phone component is totally a necessary part of the game and very warranted.
The game is about everyone typing out secret answers to a question. Not something you can do on a switch normally.
It all works very well, and actually, you don't even need to download an app, you can just do it through the browser.
Had you gone through with it, you would have had a blast, it's a great social game.
It just has a QR code you scan that takes you to the website. On that website you put in the short easy lobby code the console gives you and you easily join a private lobby without any hassle. Super low friction.
