Restoring your purchase

Open the app, tap the cog on the home screen to open Settings, and tap Restore purchases. One purchase covers all your iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs signed in with the same Apple Account, and everyone in your Family Sharing group.

Sharing a game

All the devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
On iPhone and iPad, allow Local Network access: open the Settings app, go to Privacy & Security, then Local Network, and turn on Sidekick.
The person who starts the game opens the scoreboard, taps … and chooses Share game. Everyone else taps Join a game and enters the four-digit code, or scans the QR code.
Joining someone else's game is always free.

If a shared game drops out

Keep the screen of the device that started the game switched on. The app keeps it awake while sharing, but locking it by hand stops the game for everyone. A device that drops out rejoins on its own if it's back within 30 seconds. After that, join again with the code.

Sounds and haptics

Sounds, haptics, and whether the timer alarm plays when the ringer switch is muted are all in the app's Settings.

Apple TV

Press Play/Pause on the remote to show the scoreboard. Click a player to add a point, or hold to take one away.
