A whole room in.

Keep the controls on your computer and put the player display on a TV, projector, or stream. Answers stay with the host until reveal time.

  1. 1

    Make it yours

    Four easy stops: pick the show, choose the players, build the question mix, and open the lobby. Browse the library or import Excel and CSV questions.

  2. 2

    Scan. Name. You’re in.

    Phones join with a QR code on the same Wi-Fi. One phone per player or team, with automatic reconnects.

  3. 3

    You call the show

    Run a buzzer race, tap-to-answer choices, or a whole round sheet. Collect the sheets when you’re ready, grade each answer, and publish the totals.

BUILT FOR THE PERSON HOLDING THE MIC

The host stays in control.

◉

Your buzzer rules

Open manually or with the question. Allow one attempt or another try after a miss. Switch buzzing off for written rounds.

◷

Your very tidy marking pile

Collect everyone’s round sheets in one place. Grade now or at the end, add a connection bonus, and publish totals. Players can revisit their own answer history.

♫

A sound desk, on the side

Recorded scoring sounds and 30 meme clips sit beside the action. Final-seconds and next-round cues follow the game automatically. Hold the room or show the leaderboard whenever you need a moment.

BRING YOUR SPECIALIST SUBJECT

Go beyond the obvious.

Medium through Extremely hard, with the default mix centered on Medium-hard and Hard. Explore the focused packs and the larger unrated community archive.

Question sources and difficulty

Difficulty depends on your crowd. The library identifies the source, category, and difficulty of each pack; imported source difficulty is preserved. Hosts make the final judgment on equivalent answers.

A few things before the first question.

Do players install anything?

No. They scan the QR code and play in their phone browser on the host’s Wi-Fi. The host opens the downloaded game. Its launcher prepares the runtime automatically if needed.

Can I host for people across the internet?

This edition is built for a shared local network. The public browser round works on one device; it does not create an online multiplayer room. You can stream the public display, while local players join by phone.

Can I choose the questions before game night?

Yes. The host’s private library lets you search questions, check their answers and sources, and save an ordered lineup of up to 100. Each planned question opens privately before you choose to show it. The lineup stays saved on your computer.

Can I use my own questions?

Yes. Upload Excel, CSV, or TSV in the question library. Choose a worksheet, preview it, and import without restarting. For Google Sheets, download as Excel or CSV first. You can also write a question directly in the app.

What if someone disconnects?

Their score and player identity are saved. Reopening the same link in the same phone browser reconnects them. The host computer must stay running and awake.
