The AI writes the questions

Let the AI build the questions from a topic you give for each round, or build them yourself from the library, by pasting, or by hand. The AI lists each question's answers from most to least popular.

Tip That order is the AI's best guess of what people say. Read every question over before the show, and fix any order you disagree with.

How players answer

Players can put every answer in order, with points for each answer in the right place. Or they can pick the one answer they think was most popular: the top spot scores in full and last place scores nothing. You can also reveal the ranking one place at a time, last place first, for suspense.

Choosing how players answer
Rank every answer, or pick the number one.

Look the questions over

Open a round to see its questions. Each lists its answers with the most popular first. Move them with the arrows, change any answer, or write a question of your own.

Ask the question

On the Live tab, start the show and move to the round. The question goes up on the TV and the answers appear on every phone. Each guest picks the answer they think the survey ranked first.

Reveal one place at a time

Press Reveal and the ranking appears one place at a time, starting from the bottom, so the room waits for number one. Guests who picked the top answer score in full, and every phone shows the ranking.
