Test: Movie Night and Game Night
Two features on one sheet: a film quiz and vote on your TV with phones as controllers, and a host panel that keeps score across a run of Campsite games. About 50 minutes in total; do the parts you can.
Status: In development, open for testing.
Movie Night on Windows is already Beta (see the Movie Night page). Game Night, and Movie Night in the Android app, are in development and open for testing.
Nothing here has been run on a wide range of TVs and phones yet. That is what this test is for.
What you need
- The Windows PC running Beebo (0.1.79 or newer), signed in.
- A TV with a browser, or the PC plugged into the TV.
- Two phones: one Android with the Beebo test app, and one with any browser (an iPhone if you can borrow one).
- Everything on the same home Wi-Fi, not guest Wi-Fi.
Your ticks are saved only in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to report.
