Tambola Board

Host a family Housie (Indian Bingo) game night. Friends join from any device with just a code — no download needed.

Tambola (also called Housie or Bingo) is a classic number-calling game perfect for parties, social gatherings, and family get-togethers. Easy to play, even easier to host.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY
Players can install Tambola Board on their iPhone or iPad for the full experience, or simply tap the shared link to join instantly from any web browser — no download needed. The host runs the game from the iOS app, and players choose whichever way is most convenient for them.

EASY TO START
Create a game, share a 5-character code or QR, and start calling numbers. Players join instantly from their phones using the web link or the app. Create up to 3 invite links per game to share with different groups.

AUTO-CALL
The Auto-Call feature calls the next number automatically until all 90 are called or the game is paused. Adjust the speed to match your group's pace — from rapid-fire to relaxed family rounds.

AUTO-LANGUAGE
Auto-Language detects what language you wrote your call phrases in and speaks them aloud in that language. Great for multilingual groups — no manual switching, no language barriers.
