For games purchased at www.board.fun
You'll need to redeem your Game Download Code which was sent to the email address used at checkout (subject line: "Your Game Download Codes"). The code you’ll enter on your Board looks like this: XX-XXXX-XX.
- Connect your Board to Wi-Fi (Settings > Wi-Fi).
- Open the Game Store.
- Select Redeem Download Code in the upper-right corner.
- Enter your Game Download Code.
If you can't find your game download code, see here: www.board.fun/codes or email us at [email protected].
If you don't see the "Redeem Download Code" option, your Board needs a software update.
- Connect to Wi-Fi (settings > Wi-Fi).
- Go to Settings > System> Check for Updates.
- If you don't see Check for Updates, your Board is automatically downloading the latest firmware in the background. You won't see a progress bar or any on-screen indication that the download is happening.
- Wait about 30 minutes for the update to complete (you can continue using your Board during this time).
- Restart your Board.
- Confirm your Board is running firmware version 2.0.2 or later (Settings > System).
- Return to the Game Store, select Redeem Download Code, and enter your code.
