Game Night Upgrade: Netflix Games Just Arrived on Your TV

Thanks to Netflix, game night just got an upgrade! A collection of Netflix games for players of all ages is now available on your TV.

A New Way to Play: All you need is Netflix and your phone

Netflix just made game night a whole lot easier. Now you can play games on your TV. The only other things you need are Netflix and your phone. That’s it. Just like that, everything you need to start playing with your friends and family is already in the palm of your hands. 

This holiday season, Netflix will be launching a stack of new titles, and they’ve got something for just about everyone, regardless of how you wanna play. 

“Starting today, you can play games on your TV, using your phone as a controller — no setup needed, it’s as easy as streaming your favorite shows,” said Alain Tascan, President of Games at Netflix. “You can now go from watching KPop Demon Hunters to playing Pictionary: Game Night without ever leaving Netflix. And for those who love to play anywhere and everywhere, we’re bringing even more games to your phone with our own special Netflix touch.”

Have friends over? How about staging a classic murder mystery, except this time with the world’s greatest detective, Benoit Blanc, investigating you and your friends? In Dead Man’s Party: A Knives Out Game, that’s the order of the day. And for more group fun, the Party Games collection lets friends and family gather around the TV for instant game fun and creating memories for the future. It’s nonstop, familiar entertainment with hits like LEGO Party!, Boggle Party, Party Crashers, Pictionary: Game Night, and Tetris Time Warp.

For those nights when you need some solo time, there’s Red Dead Redemption — coming to mobile for the first time ever. Explore the Dead West, yank a few bandits off their horses with your lasso, leave ’em on train tracks, and take in a sunset or two in this masterpiece.

Speaking of, when you need a brainteaser, Netflix has those too. The brand-new Puzzled app has eight daily puzzle games and familiar faces, including Emily in Paris, Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters, all playable on Tudum and your mobile device.

Netflix Party Games You Can Play On Your TV

Boggle Party (Out Now)

The Boggle you know has some new tricks in Boggle Party. Up to eight players use their phones or tablets to find words among a grid of random letters, swiping and tapping over them as they’re found. Whoever finds the most unique words wins. You can play solo and work your way down the achievement list while you’re waiting for the rest of the party to arrive, too. 

LEGO Party (Out Now)

LEGO Party’s collection of mini-games is here to cheerfully and competitively test your friendships. If you wanna win, make your way around the game board and rack up as many golden bricks as possible before the rest of the living room does. Play short-order cook, throw swords, pilfer donuts from a dragon’s lair, and more in this raucous party game.

Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends (Out Now)

Who showed up to the party uninvited? It’s up to you and your friends to find the culprit in this bonkers game of deduction and social tomfoolery. Party Crashers is for three to six players, and all but one will know the secret word for any given round. The invitees give each other hints to describe the secret word, hints that make sense to everyone who knows the secret word but will confuse the outsider. The goal? Outing the person pretending to know what everyone else is talking about. 

Pictionary: Game Night (Out Now)

Everyone thinks they’re an artist until it’s time to show off their skills in public. Pictionary: Game Night will make you race against the clock to decipher your friends’ and family’s doodles. Speed is of the essence here. Decipher their scribbles as fast as you can if you wanna win this fast-paced party game, because the quicker you guess correctly, the more points you and the wannabe Picasso earn.

Tetris Time Warp (Out Now)

Tetris Time Warp is the beloved worldwide classic with a twist: Clearing lines of retro-styled Tetrominoes warps you into a bonus zone inspired by the game’s 40-year history — each with its own period-specific rules.

To get back to the present, you’ll have to finish mini challenges before time runs out. Each Time Warp has its own rules connected to the retro era you’re playing in. For example, some versions don’t have Hard Drop, while others may limit Tetromino rotation. 

Dead Man’s Party: A Knives Out Game (Coming Soon)

World-famous detective Benoit Blanc is in the house to solve another murder. This time? It’s at your house and everyone’s a suspect in this social party game where you and your crew star in your own Knives Out mystery. It’s up to you to deduce what happened and convince everyone you’re not the killer. Or, if you are, you’ve got to keep Blanc off your tail and make sure you influence the vote so you don’t get outed.

Red Dead Redemption (Coming Soon)

What Grand Theft Auto III did for mafia stories, Red Dead Redemption did for Westerns. And for the first time, you can play it on mobile.
