Polls and quick games

Six quick ones

A live poll, a closest number question, written answers, a wheel, a buzzer and a timer. They are good between big games, as icebreakers, or to settle a debate.

Live poll

Write your question and its choices, or have the AI write them from a topic. You can also make a vote final, so nobody changes their mind. When the poll starts, every phone shows the choices. The bars on the TV grow as votes come in, and you choose when to reveal the result.

Tip Ideal for icebreakers and for 'what should we play next?'.

Poll on the night

Every phone shows the choices and the bars on the TV grow as votes come in.

Closest number

A guessing question with a number as the answer. Enter the question and the real answer, choose the points, and decide whether going over loses, like on a price game. Guests type their guess on their phone. Lock the guesses, reveal them all on the TV, and the closest one wins the points.

Written answers

An open question that guests answer in a few words. You can show the answers on the TV as they arrive, or hold them back for a reveal. You can give a point to any answer you like, and remove one you do not want shown. Everything players type is cleaned and profanity-masked before it appears.

Spin wheel

The wheel picks from a list you type, or the AI writes. Spin it from the Live tab, or have it spin as soon as the step starts. The server picks the winner before the wheel moves, so it is always fair. You can also take each winner off the wheel after its spin, until one is left.

Buzzer

The buzzer opens a race. The first guest to press the big button on their phone is named on the TV. You can line up several, add a countdown, lock out early buzzers, and give points for a right or wrong answer. The host and the phones can play a buzz sound.

Timer

A big countdown, or a stopwatch, on the TV. Use it between rounds, or to keep a game on time. Pause it, add time, and let it sound a buzzer at zero.
