Playcade - a multiplayer arcade like game on your tv. phones become the controller

I built a thing called Playcade. You open playcade.party on a Smart TV's built in browser, or a laptop plugged into one, or honestly any big screen. A four letter room code and a QR come up. Everyone else scans it with their phone, picks a name and a colour, and their phone is the controller.

11 games right now (Adding more weekly), 2 to 12 players, 3 to 7 minutes each. A sumo one, a Tron style trail one, a racer, a drawing one, and a few guessing ones.

Fair warning: this needs actual people in the room with you. If you click it on your own you get a lobby which you can still join and play solo games like Flick Carnival if you just want to see how the controller feels.
