The five games — which include versions of Boggle and Pictionary — are meant to be played on a TV in the same room with family and friends using their phones as controllers and are included in a regular Netflix subscription. Other titles include LEGO Party!, Tetris Time Warp and social deduction game Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends. The company plans to roll out the games in the U.S. before the holidays.
