Host Tips

Small helpers for a smoother Tambola or Housie session.

  • Use Space to call the next number, R to repeat, and A to start or stop auto-calling.
  • Confirm rules before starting: Early Five, lines, corners, full house, and whether multiple winners are allowed.
  • Keep auto-call speed slower for large groups, seniors, or kids so everyone can mark tickets comfortably.
  • The game is saved locally in this browser, so a refresh should keep your called numbers and claim notes.

Tambola Number Caller

Tambola Number Caller helps hosts run a Tambola or Housie game by randomly calling numbers from 1 to 90 and tracking every called number on screen.

The basic rule is simple: players mark numbers on their tickets as they are called, then claim patterns such as early five, lines, corners, or full house.

How to Use This App

  • Open the Tambola Number Caller before starting the game
  • Choose light or dark mode based on your screen and venue
  • Click Call Number to randomly pick the next number from 1 to 90
  • Use Auto Call if you want numbers to be announced at a steady pace
  • Track called numbers on the board as players mark their tickets
  • Check claims such as early five, lines, corners, or full house
  • Reset the game when you are ready to start a new round

Examples and Use Cases

Example use cases:

  • Kitty party Tambola: Open the caller on a phone or tablet, tap Call Number, and let players mark numbers on their tickets as the board updates.
  • Family Housie night: Use auto-call mode so numbers are announced at a steady pace while the host focuses on checking player claims.
  • Wedding or sangeet game: Project the number board on a larger screen so guests can easily see which numbers have already been called.
  • Claim checking: When a player says early five, top line, or full house, compare their ticket against the called number list before accepting the claim.
  • Multiple rounds: After one game ends, use reset to clear the board and start a fresh round without preparing new paper number slips.

Helpful Details

Hosting Tips for a Smooth Game

  • Announce clearly: Say each number slowly and repeat it once so players can mark their tickets correctly.
  • Keep a steady pace: Use auto-call only when players are comfortable with the speed. Slow down during larger gatherings.
  • Pause for claims: Stop calling numbers when someone claims early five, a line, corners, or full house.
  • Confirm before continuing: Check the claimed ticket against the called number board before accepting the win.

Common Tambola Claims

  • Early Five: The first player to mark any five numbers on a valid ticket.
  • Top Line: All numbers in the top row of a ticket are marked.
  • Middle Line: All numbers in the middle row of a ticket are marked.
  • Bottom Line: All numbers in the bottom row of a ticket are marked.
  • Full House: All numbers on the ticket are marked.

Fair Play and Practical Notes

For fair play, start each round with a clean board and make sure all players understand the winning patterns before the first number is called.

The app works in the browser and does not need paper slips, but hosts should still keep player tickets visible when checking claims. Voice announcements may depend on the browser and device settings.
