There are two main ways to join a Factile game:

  • Join Link: Your game host (usually a teacher or organizer) will share a join link with you. Click on the link, and it will direct you to the Join page.
  • QR Code: The host might also provide a QR code for the game. Use your mobile device’s camera app to scan the code, and it will automatically redirect you to the join page.

Both methods are quick and easy, ensuring a smooth start for your game.

Note that if the game is set to “No Buzzer” mode, a join link won’t be available. In this case, you will be able to join the game simply by being present in the classroom or designated playing area. You can then participate by verbally answering the questions posed by the host.

How to rejoin a game?

In some instances, you may experience disconnection while the game is in progress. Don’t worry, you can simply rejoin the game.

Contact your host or moderator and they will provide you with a unique Reconnect PIN. This PIN is a 6-digit number and is distinct from any join PIN used previously. The Reconnect PIN is automatically generated for each disconnection event, ensuring a secure and unique access point for rejoining.

To rejoin a game, navigate to the Join page using the link https://www.playfactile.com/join or the QR code provided.

Enter the Reconnect PIN and click the Submit button. The Reconnect PIN allows you to rejoin your team directly, bypassing the standard joining process.
