Overview
Family Olympics is a premium sports collection for Apple TV where the phone in your hand becomes the racket, the ball and the club. Stand up, swing, and watch the motion land on the television a heartbeat later. Four sports at launch, one shared world, and a difficulty curve gentle enough that nobody sits out.

How your phone becomes the controller
Scan. Join. Swing. Play.
Four steps, roughly twenty seconds, and no accounts. The television keeps the room code on screen so anyone can arrive mid-tournament.

Scan
Point the camera at the code on the television. No app store detour for guests.
- 02
Join
Pick a colour, take a lane. Up to eight phones in the same session.
- 03
Swing
Your phone reads the motion of a real swing, serve, putt or roll.
- 04
Play
The action lands on the television instantly, in front of everyone.

Play solo or together
One player is a real mode, not a fallback.
Solo practice
Open ranges for every sport, with quiet coaching that reads your motion and tells you what changed.
Solo challenge
Timed and scored runs with medal tiers, designed for ten minutes on a weeknight.
Pass and play
Two to four people sharing a sofa and taking turns on a single lane.
Full room
Up to eight phones live at once, with spectators kept in the scoreboard.
Tournament mode
A whole evening with a scoreboard that remembers.
Build an event from any mix of sports, seed the bracket automatically, and let the television carry the ceremony — standings between rounds, medals at the end, and a record of the night that survives until the rematch.
Designed for the living room
Bright, generous, and built for a real room.
Stylised environments rather than photoreal broadcast sport: readable from the sofa, forgiving of low ceilings, and calibrated so a first-timer scores in their first minute.
Key features
No additional hardware
Everyone plays with the iPhone already in their pocket. Nothing to buy, nothing to charge, nothing to pair.
Motion you can trust
Swing, putt and serve are read from real wrist motion, tuned for small rooms, low ceilings and enthusiastic follow-through.
Solo or together
Practice ranges and personal challenges for one, tournament brackets for up to eight.
One sports universe
Every venue belongs to the same stylised world — a rooftop bowling club, a coastal course, a resort court, an island of impossible mini-golf.
