How Nachle Dance-off plays
On their phones
Pick a side, hold the phone (or tap the beat), dance two eights after the tutorial, then face off, dance together and light the banquet floor in the final eight.
On the host console
Runs the sides and the turns from the console. Turns can be longer, with a star vote.
On the big screen
An original dance tutorial, then each side’s turn, then the mirrored dance floor lighting under the side that moved best.
How it ends: The mirrored floor lights under the side that moved best. A side scores the average of its phones, so a big family does not win by size.
The full description from the games team
An original tutorial plays on the big screen and guests dance holding their phones, whose motion sensors score how well each move lands on the beat. Sides take turns, then dance together at an easier tempo so elders can join, and a final two eights light the mirrored dance floor under the side that moved best. A side scores the average of its phones, so a big family does not win by size. Anyone can dance seated or tap the beat instead. Motion is read on the phone and never leaves it: only the count of beats hit is sent. No camera.

The story in the demo
Raj & Simran’s sangeet in the banquet hall. Preeti, the choreographer, teaches two eights; Robbie, the DJ, keeps the dhol loop steady; Bauji sits the first round out and dances the second. Each phone counts the beats it moved on and only that count leaves the phone, never a camera. A side scores its average, so the bigger family does not win by size. Dancing seated or tapping the beat scores the same. In the final eight the winning half of the mirrored floor turns gold.
Raj, Simran, Bauji and the rest are an illustrated sample cast, not real people. At your event the same game carries your own names and photos.
