Why restaurants embed browser games
A short game can make waiting feel shorter and give guests something to do while they browse the menu or wait for a table.
Works on guest phones
Players stay in the mobile browser, which fits tableside QR flows and lobby signage links.
Easy to swap seasonally
Change the game or campaignId for holidays, family nights, or limited-time promotions.

How to add games to a restaurant website
Place the iframe where guests naturally wait or browse, then keep the frame large enough for phone taps.
Step 1
Pick the guest touchpoint
Use a menu page, QR landing page, reservation wait page, or lobby display link.
Step 2
Register your domain
Add the restaurant website domain in GamesIKnow before generating tenant iframe code.
Step 3
Embed a quick game
Start with Tic Tac Toe, Bingo, or Four in a Row for fast rounds on mobile.
Step 4
Test at table width
Preview the page on a phone before printing QR codes or publishing the link.
Implementation
Restaurant UX recommendations
Guests should understand the game in one glance and be able to return to the menu or booking flow afterward.
Lead with the menu
Keep menu, hours, and reservation links visible above or below the game so the page still serves hospitality goals.
Optimize for one-hand mobile use
Use a full-width iframe and avoid placing the game inside a tiny footer area.
Use campaign IDs
Track which location or QR placement drives the most game starts when you run multiple venues.

FAQ
Common questions about games for restaurants
What is the difference between /embed/{gameSlug}/ and /embed/{gameSlug}/frame/?
Use /embed/{gameSlug}/frame/ as the iframe src. That route is the lightweight game frame built for website embeds and postMessage events. The /embed/{gameSlug}/ route is the public preview and SEO page for people, not the route to place inside an iframe.
Do visitors need to download an app or create an account?
No. Visitors can play inside the browser iframe on phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. A partner account is only needed by the website owner who installs the embed.
Can I restrict the embed to my own domain?
Yes. GamesIKnow embeds are designed around registered websites and domain-restricted tenant settings, so copied iframe code cannot be freely reused on unauthorized sites.
Which GamesIKnow titles are currently embeddable?
Tic Tac Toe, Four in a Row, Bingo, and I Know are available as embeddable browser games. The embed documentation uses the same event model across supported games.
Can restaurant guests play without downloading an app?
Yes. GamesIKnow games run in the mobile browser through an iframe embed, which fits QR menu and waiting-page workflows.
