How does the TouchGameTable digital board game table support parents and grandparents?

You’ve likely noticed that kids spend most of their time on their phones or computers.

Sad facts and dangers of excessive online usage for children

Social relationships aren't developing enough

even though the labor market will soon expect them to be team players. Kids who mostly connect online often feel lonely. They don't learn the rules of cooperation, civilized debate, self-assertion, and assertive communication. This becomes a problem in school and a disadvantage in the workplace.

Developmental games that build thinking and knowledge are missing

It’s worrying to think about how much it affects a young child’s development when they spend significant time on shooting games with bright flashing lights or monotonous apps interrupted every few minutes by ads.

The internet can also be a space for abuse

It’s understandable that kids follow their peers, and social media quickly pulls them in. There, they’re primarily exposed to vulgar, aggressive content, time-wasting, dumb apps, and sometimes even pornography, all of which we want to protect their developing personalities from! Children can experience bullying, humiliation, and exploitation in many forms online, even from peers.is.

The effects of the web on the nervous system

Attention issues and distractibility are becoming more common, hindering learning. Fast-paced online games and the click-speed world that children experience can cause significant damage. More and more kids can’t focus on a single task for even a short time, which is a huge disadvantage when it comes to reading and comprehension. School learning relies heavily on memorization.

"Stop playing with your phone"

How great would it be if this recurring conflict and the following unpleasant moments of sulking disappeared, along with the bad feelings adults often have, since they only want the best for their children!

Wouldn’t it be great to have a tool at home that helps ensure:

Your child would willingly spend less time in the online space.
You wouldn’t need to nag or constantly be in conflict over learning multiplication tables, reading, or geography.
Your child would learn the rules of civilized debate and effective self-assertion without even noticing, while playing.
Your child would experience joyful cooperation during games and become a true team player.
Your child would eagerly and willingly play logic, math, and language skill games, positively affecting their school performance.

All of this can partly be achieved with board games

We played many board games with our children before, from Activity to Master Logic to Mill. Our youngest grew up on logic games. His excellent high school graduation proves it was worth it!

However, board games are not as attractive as the online world, which kids don’t want to give up!

But there are other arguments in favor of the digital form:

It’s tough to admit, but we live in such a fast-paced world that even adults find it important not to deal with unpacking and setting up. Just get to the game immediately!
Lost or dirty pieces can quickly take away the joy of playing.
Additionally, new games are always needed, as this is how we operate in today’s accelerated world.

35+ exciting developmental games

that let children learn, play, and develop at the same time – and also provide joyful entertainment for parents and even grandparents. Our own children inspired these, and today, many families are happily using them.

A surprising experience – how it debuted with teens

When we brought the TouchGameTable prototype with only five games to our 7th-grade son’s class party in 2018, we were curious to see their reaction. What happened was something none of us expected: the kids played a Hungarian city-finding game for two one-and-a-half-hour sessions, where they had to guess cities on a blank map.
One little girl whispered to me:

"Just hope the geography teacher doesn’t see this because it’s not this fun in class!"

It was an immense joy to see them learn while having so much fun! As a former teacher, this was the most heartwarming experience I could have had. The TouchGameTable truly proved itself to me then!

Since then, we've received many positive reviews from families who have the TouchGameTable.

They report:

Kids spend less time online – voluntarily 🙂
Social relationships with siblings, parents, and grandparents improve through shared play.
Kids learn the rules of civilized debate and effective self-assertion without even realizing it.
They practice joyful cooperation.
Without conflicts, they practice knowledge that affects school performance: multiplication tables, geography, spelling, and reading comprehension.
They eagerly and willingly play games that develop logical and mathematical skills.

All of this has a positive impact on their nervous system, at their own pace, without the danger of negative effects from wandering the internet.

The fast pace of today’s life and the world of the internet

Even a young child can no longer spend an afternoon with their grandmother at the playground because their schedule is packed.

They can barely meet their friends, and free play is out of the question because every minute is filled with extracurricular activities

Kids are spending hours on online platforms.

Most primary school kids now have their own mobile phone, as it’s the tool for staying in touch with their parents and grandparents. On the same device, they also have access to the internet. Ideally, parents limit how much time their children spend in front of the computer, laptop, or mobile phone. This, however, becomes a huge source of conflict between parents and kids or grandparents and kids.

No prohibition helps:

for kids, the online world is the most attractive “playground.” Partially, we can direct them to valuable content online, but the internet is full of distractions. We can’t prevent them from falling into time-wasting, low-quality, and dumbing-down games or becoming victims of abuse.

Parents’ and grandparents’ situation is much more difficult

Ten to twenty years ago, before the flashy, spectacular online games and films, it was easy to captivate kids with a nice storybook or exciting board game. However, today’s generation is born into a world where digital things are the foundation, and those are what attract them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

How many people can play at the TGT table at once?

Up to four players. For board games, the number of players is based on how many are logged in: 1-2-3-4. For certain games—like chess, checkers, etc.—it’s two players.

The TGT service consists of two parts:

The Game Cloud

This is the IT infrastructure. Games are delivered to the tables from here, and we can provide statistics from this source.
The Physical Table
The current games, and later newer ones, will appear on the table via WiFi. It can also feature a custom homepage.

Technical Information

What is required to operate the TGT at your location?

Power and WiFi. We take care of everything else.

What size is the TGT table?

Table surface: 97*66 cm | Display size: 32″ | Table height is optional: either coffee table or dining table height.

Are the games available online or offline?

Some games require real-time internet access, but most can be played offline.

What kind of WiFi is needed?

A standard WiFi network is sufficient; no extra speed is required..

Why isn't there a power switch?

For simplicity in operation, when set up, we configure the automatic on/off times according to your needs.

How much energy does it consume?

It consumes 40 watts during use (similar to the smallest light bulb).

Is it waterproof?

Spilled liquid won’t harm the table if wiped off immediately. It can’t withstand long soaking, but the table frame is replaceable.

How durable is the surface?

Many of our clients have been using it for years with high utilization from early morning until late evening, and the surface hasn’t worn down.

Can the surface be repaired?

It can be replaced

Rent

Occasional rental

We can provide a limited number of TGT tables for rent in and around Budapest. Ask for our current offer.

Long-term rental

Our public customers can rent tables every 3 months at an increasingly reduced rate. Ask for our current offer.

Buying

Can it be purchased as an individual?

Yes. Businesses and individuals can order TGT tables under the same conditions.

How much does it cost?

Request our current price list on the appropriate subpage (header). There you will also find any promotional code for discounts. You can use the discount according to the actual location of use.

Operation

Does it require maintenance?

No. After installation, it can be used without supervision. The Game Cloud IT infrastructure ensures no issues arise: the support team maintains the backend system. There have been no software issues. Occasionally, cables have needed to be replaced due to damage (for example, when guests place chairs on them and they get cut). We send replacement cables, which can be swapped out just like a laptop cable. We recommend using a cable channel for the wires.

What is the Game Cloud?

The Game Cloud is a comprehensive service made up of four parts. In addition to the typical support for IT systems, it includes remote monitoring, telephone customer service, and the automatic release of new games at no extra cost.

For Seasonally Operating Partners

Operate your TGT tables with the Game Cloud credit package, so you won’t have costs during the off-season or when there are no guests. The packages are valid for 24 months.

What’s the difference between the flat-rate Game Cloud and the credit packages?

With the flat-rate Game Cloud package, we provide unlimited use for 12 months.
The Game Cloud credit packages are recommended for seasonal operations. These credit packages can be used within two years and are based on usage time, offering packages from 150 hours to 600 hours. Their usage can be transparently tracked via an online interface. The system only deducts credits for the time spent playing, not when, for example, users are browsing the games on the homepage or when the TGT table is simply turned on.
