The random draw runs the show
Not a vote — a REAL random draw. That's the AperoRoom game.
- ⏱ Before each video ends, chance picks from the proposals
- 🍷 The winner plays in sync for everyone, down to the second
- 🎯 No self-appointed DJ, no debate — just the suspense of the verdict
- 🥂 The Wow button: hold it down to cheer a clip — it climbs the Top Wow chart
- 🔁 And off it goes again: a new draw at the end of every video, until closing time
« You never know what's coming next. That's exactly why everyone stays. »
✨ THE SECRET RECIPE
Why the random draw changes everything
Collaborative playlists have existed for 15 years. The problem? The democracy effect: consensus tracks always win, hidden gems never play.
The random draw fixes that. Your niche track has the same odds as a hit. The result: a surprising night where you actually discover your friends' taste — instead of replaying the same playlist.
And it's true live — everyone sees the same video at the same moment, same living room or 1,000 km apart. Synced to the second.
The questions we get asked a lot
How much does it cost?
Free to start: 20 ice cubes when you sign up. Then ice cube packs from €4.99 — no subscription, you only pay when you want a top-up. See the packs →
Do my friends have to sign up?
To watch, no account needed: the invite link, the QR code or the TV via aperoroom.com/tv are enough. To propose videos and chat, they need an account — free, 30 seconds.
What if a video is too long?
The room creator can skip the video anytime from the control bar. And since the draw happens before each video ends, it chains automatically — never a dead moment.
Maximum capacity of a room?
You choose at creation: from 5 to 300 simultaneous guests, depending on your pack. The bigger you go, the more ice cubes the room costs to open (servers get thirsty too 😉).
Which devices does it work on?
Everywhere, no app to install: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — PC, tablet, smartphone. Your phone is the remote, and any TV joins in 10 seconds via aperoroom.com/tv or Chromecast.
What about YouTube rights?
100% legal: we use the official YouTube player. You enjoy videos just like on YouTube.com, with the usual creator rules and monetization.
