How do guests receive tickets for a Zoom Tambola game?

You can share your multiplayer lobby code in the Zoom chat. When guests connect from their mobile devices, they automatically receive active digital tickets.

Is a physical caller board required for virtual games?

No, our online automated caller board reads numbers aloud, updates the master board, and syncs history logs on all player devices automatically.

How to Host Tambola on Zoom

Hosting virtual gatherings has become a popular way to bring friends, family, and corporate teams together across long distances. Playing **Zoom Tambola** (Virtual Housie) requires zero physical setup and offers an engaging, interactive, and fun social experience. Follow this simple guide to host your own virtual game night!

1. Step-by-Step Hosting Setup

Follow these quick steps to launch and manage your game room:

Launch the Zoom Call: Start your video meeting and send the invitation link to all players.
Open the Digital Caller: Launch our free online **Tambola game** portal on your laptop.
Configure Screen Share: Click **Share Screen** in Zoom, select the browser tab containing the game, and check the box for **"Share Sound"** (so players can hear the voice announcer).
Create the Lobby: Open the multiplayer menu on our board, generate a room code, and post it in the Zoom chat.

2. Managing Players and Digital Tickets

Once players receive the room code, they simply visit our site on their phones or tablets, type the room code, and choose their tickets. The digital tickets are synchronized with the caller in real-time, allowing players to tap cells to mark numbers as they are called.

3. Verifying and Rewarding Claims

When a player completes a winning pattern (like Early Five or Full House), they shout **"Housie!"** or type it in the Zoom chat. The host pauses the auto-caller, verifies their claim against the call history logs, and rewards them with digital gift cards, online shopping vouchers, or custom home-delivered treats!
