QR codes for board game cafes, game libraries and tables
A shelf of hundreds of games overwhelms new guests. A code on the table card that opens the library, filterable by player count and time, helps people choose, and a code on each box can open a short rules video.
Games arrive and leave. The page updates without reprinting.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
What should a game cafe QR code open?
The first question guests ask is what to play.
- Library with player count, play time and difficulty.
- Short rules videos for popular games.
- Table booking and event nights.
- Drink and snack menu.
How do I add QR codes to game boxes?
A small matte sticker on the side of the box, at least 2 cm (0.8 inch) square, opens that game's rules page. Use one code that opens a library page with the game highlighted, or one per game if you want scan counts.
Will a QR code work on a busy table?
Print the table card on a stand, away from drinks and cards, and place it where it will not be moved. Laminate it so spills wipe off.
