Head downstairs and the whole mood shifts — this is the fun floor. A full-size ping-pong table is waiting for a tournament, there's a dartboard for the competitive ones, and a shelf of board games and books for those slow, happy hours when it's raining and nobody's in a rush to be anywhere.

Put on some music

There's a Pyle Bluetooth sound system with two speakers — one down here in the game room and one outside by the hot tub — so your soundtrack follows you wherever the evening goes. To pair your phone:

1. 1Power on the receiver (lower-left corner of the unit).
2. 2Press the MODE button until the screen reads “Bluetooth.”
3. 3On your phone, turn on Bluetooth and look for “PyleUSA” — tap to pair.
4. 4Play away. One volume knob runs the indoor speaker, the other the outdoor speaker.
