Both multiplayer games were built for one room, and both work over any screen-sharing platform. The host shares their browser tab. Everyone else joins on their phone. No extra setup, no extra software.
The game is already built for this. The host screen and the player controllers are separate by design: one is on the shared screen, the other is on everyone's phone.
The host opens the game on their laptop, starts a Discord, Zoom, Meet, or Teams call, and shares their browser tab, not their whole screen. Everyone on the call now sees the host screen, which is the game board.
The host reads the room code aloud. It appears on the shared screen with the join address when the game starts. Each player opens their phone browser, goes to that address, and types the code. They're in.
Every move is submitted privately on each player's phone. The results resolve on the shared screen. The call handles the conversation: trash talk, strategy debates, election-night reactions. The game handles everything else.
Every platform works. Here is exactly where to find the right button on each one.
Start or join a voice channel. Click the screen icon at the bottom of the screen ("Screen") and pick the browser window or tab running the host screen. Works in any server or DM call.
Click Share Screen in the meeting controls. Choose the browser tab running the host screen from the tab list. Turn on "Share sound" so the group hears the game's sound effects.
Click the present icon (arrow pointing up into a rectangle) at the bottom of the screen. Choose "A tab", select the browser tab running the host screen, and leave "Also share tab audio" on.
Click Share in the meeting controls (the rectangle with an arrow). Choose "Window" and select the browser window running the host screen. Tab-level sharing varies by Teams version.
Players can join on a phone or a second laptop browser tab. Phone is easier. It keeps the game screen and the video call separate without switching windows.
The room code is four letters. Read it out clearly when the game starts. Players type it, they don't scan it. If anyone mishears it, it stays on screen the whole time they are joining.
Share the browser tab specifically, not your whole screen or desktop. The image is sharper and your other windows stay private.
Who's Your Mayor? has sound effects on the host screen. Turn on your app's share-sound option so everyone on the call hears them, and keep the host's own volume moderate.
Who's Your Mayor? and The Primary each run about 30 minutes. An hour call gives you time to play and debrief.
Works in any online or hybrid section. Students join from wherever they are. See the classroom page for instructor notes and debrief guides.
Pick a game, start a call, and share your tab. Your group joins in under a minute.
