Good to know

A few good
questions.

How do I join a game?

Your game runner will send you a player invitation link or show you a QR code. Open that invitation, or choose “I’m playing” here and paste the link. Then follow the prompts to join your team.

Do I need to download an app?

No download needed. Bay Games runs in your phone’s browser. Bring a charged phone and an internet connection; your game may use the camera or location for specific missions.

Is every game a race?

No. Your game runner chooses the mix: photo challenges, clues, trivia, checkpoints and more. Some games reward speed, others creativity or teamwork. Check your game’s instructions before you set off.
