Sharing & PINs
How PINs work, who can see what, and how others can join.
What is the PIN? +
Every game gets a unique 6-character PIN like B7K9P3. The PIN is how anyone joins or watches your game. The alphabet skips visually ambiguous characters (no O, I, L, 0, 1).
How do I share a game? +
Tap Share on the scoring page. You'll see the PIN, a link to the TV view, the scorer code, and email forms to send the PIN or transfer admin to someone.
How do others join? +
They visit scoremy.games and enter the PIN, OR they visit /g/{PIN} directly. No account needed. They can also DM the Telegram bot.
What is the scorer code? +
A separate code that lets someone else score the game from their own device. Give it out to your teammate who is sitting closer to the action. Without it, others can view live but can't change the score.
Transferring admin to someone else +
Share → Transfer admin to someone. Enter their email; they get a single-use link. The moment they click it, they become admin and you lose admin. Useful when you're leaving and want someone else to manage the game.
Lock joining +
Once you've added everyone, lock joining from the setup page. New players can't be added until you unlock. There's a hard cap of 50 players per game regardless.
Can someone change my game from across the room? +
Only people with the admin cookie OR the scorer code can score. Random visitors with just the PIN can watch but not touch the score.
How long do games stick around? +
Anonymous complete games are archived 7 days after completion. Free-tier signed-in users keep complete games for 30 days, active games for 90 days. Pro keeps everything indefinitely.
