Techniques are disclosed for facilitating a shared activity conducted by multiple participants via remote devices, particularly when there are more players then available remote devices. For example, the shared activity may be users playing electronic versions of a variety of card games or board games (or other game types). Users interact with a central device and one or more remote devices. The central device may be used to present "public" information on a central game play field-such as a game board, draw and discard piles, place cards, current scores, whose turn it is, etc. And the remote devices are used to present "private" game information to individual players-such as a player's "hole cards" or letter tiles. Further, users may make game choices and provide game input by interacting with the handheld device.
