Pass the Remote! is an 11-game party pack for Apple TV played with a single Siri Remote, with no phones or controllers needed.

  • Solo, 2–4 players or color teams
  • Free to play
  • No ads

Real gameplay on Apple TV, played with one Siri Remote

Do you need phones or controllers?

No. Pass the Remote! uses only the Siri Remote that came with your Apple TV. One person plays, then hands the remote to the next.

  • One remote, no accounts

    No phones to hand out, no controllers to pair, no app to download, no sign-in. Everyone plays with the remote you already have.

  • Everyone's playing within ten seconds

    Pick 1, 2, 3 or 4, pick a game, and go. Each color can be one player or a whole team, so a big group just splits into colors.

  • Free, no ads, no data collected

    Every game is free to play. One optional $9.99 Unlock Everything opens the rest. No ads, no subscriptions, and the privacy label is Data Not Collected.

Trivia Battle · 27 categories

Trivia with a fun fact after every answer.

Pick from 27 categories, from Around the World to Pro Football. A right answer is worth 3 points, and every color gets three power plays per game:

  • Skip

    Banks 3 points and still shows you the answer. One per color per game.

  • 50/50

    Strikes out two wrong answers. One per color per game. Play/Pause is the shortcut.

  • Double Down

    Commit before you answer: a right answer pays 6 instead of 3, but you can't Skip that question. One per color per game. Stacks with 50/50.

Question 1Around the World

What is the capital of Australia?

  1. ASydney

How it works.

Three steps, all on the TV, all with one remote.
