A low-friction office competition followed by an easy photo debrief.

Why Tilesy fits

The Team building pack mixes workplace items with team moments and deliberately contains no alcohol or romance prompts, so it stays work-safe. Everyone joins with a 6-character code in seconds, scores update live to keep momentum, and the finished boards make a ready-made debrief slide.

Step-by-step setup

Define the play area and any rooms or zones that are off limits.
Create the game: pick the pack, set the timer, and choose the center free tile.
Share the 6-character game code and wait for everyone in the lobby.
Confirm the ground rules — then start and let the board do the rest.

Sample tiles from the pack

Real prompts from the Team building (Premium) board:

Facilitation and safety tips

Offer non-photo roles — a team can share one phone with a designated photographer.
Keep confidential screens, badges, documents, and customer information out of frame.
Debrief with each team's favorite find; the gallery does the storytelling for you.

Pack note: Designed for professional settings. Includes prompts that ask coworkers to interact. Get HR or organizer approval before running at corporate events.

Common questions

Before you host

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, photo downloads, and 7-day photo 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.
