What is Netflix Boggle Party?
Boggle Party is Netflix's version of Boggle, made by Next Games, a Netflix game studio. The letter grid and scoreboard appear on a TV or computer screen, and each player finds words by swiping on their own phone or tablet.
- Players: 1 to 8.
- Where it runs: the Netflix app on a TV, or Netflix.com on a computer.
- Controllers: each player needs an Android or Apple phone or tablet. Other controllers are not supported.
- Subscription: at least one player needs an active Netflix subscription.
- Internet: required. The game cannot be played offline.
- Remote play: not supported. Everyone has to be in the same room as the screen.
Not everyone in the same room?
WordBlock is a free Boggle-style game that runs in the browser. Create a room, send the link, and up to 16 friends join from wherever they are. No Netflix, TV or download needed.
Create a free party roomHow to play Boggle on Netflix
- On your TV or computer, open Netflix and select Games from the main menu.
- Find Boggle Party and select Play Game. A QR code appears on the screen.
- Each player scans the QR code with their phone or tablet camera to pair it as a controller. Android players may need the Netflix app, and iPhone or iPad players may need the Netflix Game Controller app.
- Create a player profile, or rejoin with an existing one.
- The host chooses the game settings and starts the round. Swipe across neighbouring letters on your phone to submit words. Anyone who joins mid-round plays from the next round.
How many people can play Netflix Boggle?
Up to 8 players can play Boggle Party at once, and you can also play solo. Only one person needs a Netflix subscription. Everyone else just needs a phone or tablet to use as a controller.
For a group bigger than 8, you need a different game. A WordBlock Party Play room holds up to 16 players, and for an even bigger group everyone can join the same Live Play round, which has no player limit.
Can you play Netflix Boggle remotely?
No. Netflix Boggle Party has no online or remote mode. Every player has to scan the QR code on the host's TV or computer screen, so everyone needs to be in the same room.
If your friends are in different places, you can play WordBlock instead. It is free, runs in any browser, and everyone joins your room with a link, wherever they are.
- Up to 16 players, twice Netflix's limit.
- No subscription, no download and no account.
- Everyone gets the same grid and the same timer on their own phone, tablet or computer.

Create a free party roomCan you play Netflix Boggle on your phone?
Only as a controller. Netflix lists TVs and computer browsers as the supported devices for Boggle Party, so a phone cannot host the game on its own. Something has to show the grid on a bigger screen.
If you want Boggle on just your phone, WordBlock runs in any mobile browser. You can play solo, join a public Live Play round, or host a party, and add it to your home screen to open it like an app.
Why can't I find Boggle on Netflix?
- Look on a TV or computer. Boggle Party is launched from the Games menu in the Netflix TV app or on Netflix.com in a computer browser, not from the phone app.
- Search for "Boggle Party". That is the game's full name on Netflix.
- Check that your TV supports Netflix games. They work on many TVs, but not all of them.
- If the game still will not start, Netflix's Boggle Party help centre has troubleshooting steps.
