How it works
Start a round in under a minute.
Hosts choose a ready-made pack or build a Premium custom list, set the rules, and get a game code. Everyone else joins with the code and starts snapping.
Share the game code
Players join by entering the code. Nobody has to create an account before the game starts.
Race to collect points
Race for the first line or a full board — the first to reach the selected goal wins. If time runs out first, the highest score wins.

Common questions
Know before you play
What is Tilesy?
Tilesy is a real-world multiplayer photo bingo game for iPhone and Android. A host creates a game and shares a six-character game code, and players race to fill a 5×5 bingo board by photographing real-world prompts with the in-app camera.
Is Tilesy free?
Tilesy is free to download and free to play. Free games support up to 4 players with no limit on the number of games, and include two packs: Household hunt and Nature hunt. An optional one-time Premium purchase unlocks unlimited players and all packs.
What does Premium include?
Premium is a one-time purchase — pay once, no subscription. It unlocks unlimited players per game, all challenge packs, custom prompt lists, saving or sharing other players' photos in the app, an optional password-protected web gallery, and 14-day game history. Packs are not sold individually. Current local prices are shown in the App Store and Google Play.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Nobody creates an account. Players install the app and join each game with a display name and its six-character game code.
Does every player need the app?
Each player joins from their own iPhone or Android phone with the game code. A pair or a small group can also share one phone and play as a single player entry. The website is for information only — games run in the app.
How do scoring and bingo work?
Every successfully submitted tile photo earns 1 point. Each completed row, column, or diagonal adds 5 bonus points. Completing two or more lines with one tile doubles those line bonuses: two lines give +20 bonus points, plus 1 for the photo. A full board adds a 25-point blackout bonus. The optional free center counts toward lines but adds no point. The selected goal determines the winner, not necessarily the highest score.
What are the game goals, and who wins?
In games created with Tilesy 0.4.0 or later, the host chooses First line wins or Full board — Blackout (the default). First line means any row, column, or diagonal; Blackout means the whole board. The first goal-completing photo submission confirmed by the game wins. If the timer runs out or the host finishes before anyone reaches the goal, the player with the most points wins. Tied scores are ranked by who reached that score first. A free center counts as complete. Everyone needs version 0.4.0 or later to join these games; older games keep their original score-based rules.
