How It Works
Send build + art
Send your game build and card artwork. Free games, demos, homebrew — anything players can run.
We produce the cards
We print full-color NFC cards with your artwork and encode each one with a link to your game.
Players tap and play
Tap the card on a Zaparoo device to download, install, and launch. Tap it on a phone to open the game's page.

- ✓ More than a QR code
A physical NFC card with your game art is something people keep. A flyer usually ends up in the bin.
- ✓ Low minimums, fast turnaround
No thousand-unit print run. Cards are made in weeks, not months. Order what you need for your next event.
- ✓ Dynamic links
Cards resolve through the Zaparoo API when tapped, so you can update the destination without reprinting the card.
- ✓ Open source
The Zaparoo platform is open source. Your players can see exactly how it works.
