One pub. A whole week of reasons to come back.

UNITED KINGDOM, 4 NOVEMBER 2026 — The pub already has the most important ingredient: people who want a good night together. Future Karaoke Hub gives it more ways to get them involved, bringing karaoke and six free-to-play games into one place to discover, install and launch venue entertainment.

A karaoke chorus one night. A team quiz the next. An alpaca race, a miniature football tournament or a gloriously competitive card game at the weekend. The Hub’s proposition is a programme of shared entertainment built around a computer, a venue screen and the phones guests already carry.

The room becomes the show

This is entertainment designed to be watched and played together. Questions, races, challenges and results take centre stage on the main screen, while guests join supported games through their phone browsers. The aim is to give the people at the next table something to cheer, argue about and celebrate together.

The six free-to-play titles span distinct nights out: Alpaca Dash brings a big-screen alpaca race; Quiz Player runs imported quiz packs with phone answers and scores; Flick Football turns a miniature football tournament into a room-wide contest; Sticky 13 brings the race to match thirteen cards; Pub Mania offers 27 quick-fire pub challenges; and Have You Seen the News? mixes newspaper headlines, comic answers and team voting, hosted by Arthur Grudge.

Six games. Their own personalities.

The range matters. A venue can choose the format that fits its regulars instead of trying to make every evening the same. These are separate applications, each with its own rules and presentation, brought together by the Hub. The Hub manages discovery, installation and launching; it does not require a venue to run every format or follow a fixed weekly schedule.

The Hub and the six standard games are free to download and play. Karaoke is a separate paid product, with a £79 monthly introductory venue plan that includes licensed Sunfly karaoke and automated hosting. A karaoke subscription is not required to play the standard free games. Creating or editing quiz packs in Quiz Hub requires a Future Karaoke licence; playing imported packs in Quiz Player is free.

A bigger role for the venue screen

Built in the UK by a team with experience in live singing, software, hospitality and entertainment, Future Karaoke is taking the show beyond karaoke night. Developer James, who took part as James Mason in ITV’s original 2001 Popstars, reached the final 33 workshop stage of the series that formed Hear’Say and featured Myleene Klass. The Hub gives venues practical building blocks for their own entertainment calendar, with the audience participating in the same event rather than disappearing into separate experiences.

For breweries and pub groups, branded versions of available games and practical staff training are also offered by quotation. Branding, chosen games, equipment requirements and training scope are agreed with each group.

Alpaca Dash, Quiz Player and Flick Football are offered for both; Sticky 13, Pub Mania and Have You Seen the News? are currently Windows betas, accessed by enabling Include beta games.
