PlayPortal began as a platform for multiplayer games and experiences designed for large-scale public installations. With simple smartphone controls and large-scale displays, Play Portal is perfect for one-off events or long term public installations.
How it works
Connecting to one of our games is as simple as snapping a QR code and heading to a Play Portal website on your phone. Your phone becomes your controller, and you can drop straight into the action! Meanwhile, the game keeps running on the big screen; no pausing, no hassle, just drop-in-drop-out multiplayer fun.
Features
Hold a competition to reward high scores, select giveaway winners at random, or define custom win conditions for bonus prizes. Whatever the rules of the competition, players can opt-in with just an email address, and the system takes care of the rest.
Play Portal tracks a full suite of statistics for the gameplay at your event; how many people are playing, session lengths, high scores, bonus items and more, all in real time. And when the event’s over, get a full breakdown of all the stats that are important to you.
Using our Play Portal platform each game can utilise built-in sharing functionality; it might be a screen grab, a video clip, or a gif, but it’s always shareable. They can brag about a new high score to all their friends and followers.
Games
These days we spend as much time making games as playing them. Check out some of our Play Portal titles.
The game that started it all! Snake is the first game in the Play Portal roster, designed to update a classic to a modern multiplayer experience. Featuring speed boosts and local leaderboards, Snake will bring back your childhood memories and unleash your competitive streak.
Our latest original title Rain Run premiered at Bathurst Winter Festival. It took up an entire laneway as users helped their cloud avatars survive the storm! Score points for collecting rain drops to dump at the level's end if you can make it through! Create thunder as other players crash into you - both on screen and in person!
