Netflix Turns TV Into a Game Console, Play LEGO Party, Tetris, and More Just Using Your Phone!

The holiday season gets more exciting as Netflix introduces a series of party games that can be played directly from the TV. No extra console needed, you and your friends or family just open the Games tab on the TV, select a game, then use your phone as the controller.

How to play

1. Open the Games tab on your Netflix app on the TV.
2. Choose the game you want to play.
3. Follow the instructions to connect your phone as the controller.
4. Invite friends or family, and start having fun!

Available party game options

• LEGO® Party! Compete in various LEGO-themed minigames. A series of fun and competitive challenges make this game perfect for family parties or friend gatherings.
• Boggle Party Race to find words from a random letter grid before time runs out. The longer the word you find, the higher your score. Solo mode is available, or play with up to eight players.
• Pictionary: Game Night A fast and funny version of the classic drawing game. Draw quickly, let your team guess — guaranteed laughter and chaos.
• Tetris Time Warp A nostalgic journey: play variations of Tetris from different eras — starting from the 1984 version to the classic Game Boy — and see who can get the highest score.
• Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends In this social game, one player actually doesn’t understand the topic everyone is talking about. Your task: find clues and reveal who the impostor is before they get caught themselves.

Important notes

• This game service is initially available on certain TVs and in some countries. Netflix plans to expand availability to more devices and regions over time.
• The phone control feature makes the gaming experience easy and inclusive — no extra hardware needed besides the smartphone many people already have.

This is just the beginning: Netflix promises to bring more games and social experiences to television. If you enjoy gathering and playing fast-paced games, now is the time to turn your living room into a digital party arena.
