Story Highlights

  • Netflix is introducing a new way to play games directly on your TV.
  • You can use your phone as a controller to join fun party games.
  • Classic titles like LEGO Party!, Pictionary and Boggle Party are part of the lineup.

Okay, so Netflix is seriously stepping up its game! They’re adding a bunch of party games to their streaming service, which is awesome. Now, instead of just chilling and watching something, we can actually *play* games with friends and family right on Netflix. It’s gonna make holiday gatherings way more fun, honestly!

Netflix expands its plan to combine streaming and gaming on one platform

To start playing Netflix games, you’ll need a Netflix account, a TV, and your phone. If you’re already logged into Netflix on your TV, you’re most of the way there! Just go to the Games section on your TV, choose a game, and then use your phone as a controller by scanning the QR code that appears on the screen.

The new collection features well-known games like LEGO Party, Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp, and Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends. Each game offers a unique experience, and we’ve included details about each one below.

  • LEGO Party: Compete with friends in fun minigames and themed challenge zones packed with gold bricks and surprises.
  • Boggle Party: Find as many words as possible in a jumbled grid before the timer runs out.
  • Pictionary: Game Night: Sketch and guess in this lively take on the classic drawing game from Mattel.
  • Tetris Time Warp: Travel through different eras of the iconic puzzle game, from its 1984 origins to Game Boy nostalgia.
  • Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends: A social deduction game where one player secretly has no clue what’s going on and everyone else must find them.

Okay, so the new gaming feature isn’t showing up for everyone just yet – it might take a little while to pop up on your TV. But Netflix is really trying to make gaming on there super simple, just like watching a movie or show. They’ve also said they’re planning on adding a bunch more games and keeping things updated, which is awesome! I’m excited to see what they come up with next.
