How do I start a game?

There are two ways to start a game: with a game ticket or with the Picoo app. 

Game card

  1. Turn on all Picoo controllers of the players who want to participate by pressing the button once. The Picoo controllers will now flash blue slowly.
  2. This can also be orange or red. In that case, the controller's battery is (almost) dead.
  3. Scan the game card of the game you want to play with the bottom of one of the Picoo controllers. We call this the "game divider. 
  4. For a game you play individually, the game starts immediately. In a multiplayer game, make sure the Picoo controllers are near the game controller. Once the Picoo controllers are logged into the game, they turn white. Once the controllers of all players who want to join are white, the player with the game distributor Picoo briefly presses the button once to start the game.
  5. Now the game starts!
