How it works

  1. The host creates a game and gets a 6-character code.

  2. Players join with this code and a nickname.

  3. The host launches a question. Players see a big buzzer.

  4. The first to buzz can answer. The host awards points.

A buzzer in every player's pocket

Players scan the QR code or type the code, pick a nickname, and the big red button pops up on their phone. No app, no account.

A real big buzzer

The question appears, everyone's finger hovers over the button. First to press gets to answer.

First? The screen turns green

The server records the order the buzzes arrive in and picks the winner: green for them, red for everyone else. And the reactions start flying.

Everyone gets their own style

240 avatars, 15 colours and 8 buzzer sounds: horn, laser, duck, burp… Everyone knows it's you before they even see your name.

Projector mode, for the living room TV

Open the projector on a computer hooked up to the TV or projector: the whole room follows the game on the big screen, live, while you host from your phone.

A giant QR code and the game code: players join in seconds and their avatar shows up on screen.

The question in huge letters, colourful MCQ choices, the timer ticking and a count of who has already answered.

The first to buzz takes over the whole screen with their reaction time, followed by the queue of runners-up.

After each question, the leaderboard comes alive: who overtakes whom, who scores, who's on fire 🔥.

  • One-key fullscreen
  • Sound effects
  • Player reactions on screen
  • Podium and awards at the end
