Integrate with Zaparoo
Add a feature your customers already ask for by name. Zaparoo is open-source NFC game launching. Customers tap a card and the game starts, no menus. The software is free to ship, and we work with partners on branding and co-marketing.

Add space for a USB NFC reader, or sell one as an add-on. Standard off-the-shelf parts.
Customers tap and play
Tap a card, game launches. That's it. Nothing to configure.
