More than twenty ways to play

Every game is played on the big screen and on guests' phones, runs from the same console, and keeps score for you.

Bingo, a prize wheel, trivia cards, pencils, a camera and a buzzer floating around a glowing TV

Trivia

Five kinds of question, one-tap scoring

Multiple choice, say-it-aloud, bluff (players write convincing fakes), majority vote and Survey Says. Add a picture to any question, paste a list in, search the question library, or ask the AI to write a round on any topic. Right answers are scored the moment you reveal.

On phones: Pick an answer, write a bluff, or put answers in order

Bingo

Everyone gets their own card

Call numbers B1 to O75 or play with your own items - movie quotes, office in-jokes, whatever fits the night. Each player daubs their own card on their phone and claims BINGO; the server checks the claim so nobody has to argue. Pay only the first winner, or every player who calls a valid BINGO - with the points you choose.

On phones: A personal card and a BINGO button

Spin Wheel

A wheel that picks fairly

Type the names, prizes or dares and spin. The server picks the winner before the wheel moves, so it is always fair, and the TV animates the landing. Optionally eliminate each result until one is left.

It's Sketchy

Draw, bluff and vote

Every player gets a secret prompt to draw. Then the room bluffs about each drawing and votes for the real one. No artistic skill needed - the worse the drawing, the better the game.

On phones: A drawing canvas, then bluffs and votes

Draw & Guess

Live drawing on the big screen

One or more players draw a secret word on their phone while their strokes appear live on the TV. Everyone else guesses. Choose who draws, set the timer, skip a word you do not like.

On phones: Draw with your finger

Name That Tune

Songs on the TV, guesses on the phones

Play clips from your own music library and let players type the song title. The answer is revealed with the clip and scores go straight to the board.

On phones: A guess box

Picture Round

Guess it from the picture

Show a picture - a landmark, a logo, a baby photo of your CEO - and players type what it is. Works with the built-in library or your own uploads.

On phones: A guess box

Price Round

Closer to the price wins

Show a product, a car, a house; players guess the price. The closest guess takes the points.

On phones: A number box

Game-Day Squares

A big board, a hidden draw

Set up a squares board for a big game. Guests pick squares on their phones, you draw the hidden numbers, and at each checkpoint you enter the score and the TV names the winners. You decide what winning means - Game Show Studio never handles money.

On phones: Pick your squares

Photo Challenge

Take it, vote on it, crown it

Give a prompt - 'something blue', 'your best dance move' - and players take a photo on their phone - or choose one they already have. Photos appear on the TV, the room votes, and the winner is announced.

On phones: Camera and voting

Photo Showdown

You pick the finalists, the crowd picks the winner

Players send a photo from their phone - a live picture or one they already have - and you choose which ones go up on the TV. Then the room votes, and the winning photo is crowned. Or supply the photos yourself and let everyone vote. You can download every photo players sent.

On phones: Camera and voting

Reaction Wall

Cheers, messages and photos, live

Guests send emoji reactions, short messages and photos - a live picture or one from their phone - that float across the TV, over a looping video if you like. Choose whether photos are allowed, need your approval first, or are off, and download every photo afterwards.

On phones: Reactions, messages and photos

Buzzer

First press wins

Open the buzzers and the fastest phone wins. Set how many buzzes each round allows, add a countdown or a penalty for early presses, and award points with one tap. Host and phones can play a buzz sound.

On phones: A big buzz button

Live Poll

Watch the bars move

Ask any question with up to several options and watch the bars grow on the TV as people vote. Ideal for icebreakers, settling debates and 'what should we play next?'.

On phones: Option buttons

Closest Number

How many jelly beans?

Ask for a number. Players guess, you reveal the answer, and the closest guess wins - optionally without going over. Duplicates can be blocked.

On phones: A number box

Written Answers

Free-text answers on the screen

Ask an open question and put the best answers on the TV. Responses are cleaned, capped and profanity-masked before anyone sees them.

On phones: A text box

Teams & Scoreboard

Teams, scores and a leaderboard

Let guests pick a team on their phone, deal everyone out evenly, or assign players by hand. Scores for players and teams are kept all night and shown on the TV whenever you ask.

On phones: Team picker and live score

Winners Podium

End the night with confetti

A winners screen for the top players or teams, with confetti, music and applause - and the cohosts to announce it.

On phones: Watch the big screen

Timer

Countdowns and stopwatches

Start a countdown or a stopwatch on the TV, pause it, add time, and let it sound a buzzer at zero.

Show Cards & Welcome

Titles, rules and announcements

Welcome screens with the join code, rule cards, announcements and thank-you screens - all in your own words, with your own backgrounds.

On phones: Watch the big screen

Promos, Pictures & AI Drawings

Your videos and pictures on the TV

Play a sponsor video or a slideshow image, or ask the AI to draw something on the spot - 'a dragon wearing a party hat' - and put it on the screen.
