What is PadConsole?
PadConsole (padconsole.com) is a browser-based party game console for friends and families. The game opens on a computer, a smart-TV browser or a tablet; every player scans the QR code on screen with their own phone, which becomes the controller. No console, gamepad or install is needed. All 24 games are made by the PadConsole team. PadConsole is developed by Global Dijital in Izmir, Türkiye.
Is it the same as AirConsole or Jackbox?
No. PadConsole is a separate product; it is not a version, add-on or partner of AirConsole, Jackbox or any other platform. The idea of using the phone as a controller is similar; PadConsole's games, servers and controller apps are developed by Global Dijital. The name is one word with two capitals: PadConsole.
Is it a website or an app?
Both. The game screen opens in the browser at padconsole.com, so nothing is installed on the TV or computer. The controller also runs in the phone's browser; a free PadConsole controller app is available for iOS and Android.
Who is it for?
Friends getting together at home, families, couples, house parties and friends in different cities who want to play together. Most games take 2–8 players; Quiz Arena takes up to 12.
