How It Works

How the Game Beacon Tabletop Turn Tracking System Works

The Game Beacon System gives each player a rechargeable tabletop beacon. The current player’s beacon lights up, presses their beacon when finished, and the next player becomes visible without passing a token or opening a phone.

Overview video

Watch the tabletop flow

See how players use their beacons to pass the turn and keep the game moving.

01

1. Place one beacon at each seat

Put a beacon in front of each player where they can see it and reach the button.

02

2. Pick the flow

Use simple turn order for quick games, configure timers when needed, or use the companion app for games with more complex phase and turn structures.

03

3. Play through the beacons

When a player finishes, they press their beacon. Game Beacons lights the next player and keeps the table oriented around the current turn.

04

4. Use the app when it helps

Use the app to adjust settings, save presets, or set up advanced modes. During play, follow the lights and press your beacon when you are done.
