Open a room, put the code on the biggest screen in the house, and everyone joins on their own phone. The room sees the question. Only you see your answer.
Six characters, letters and numbers. Ask your host.
Optional. Shows on the shared screen so people know they're in the right room.
Pick your games and hit open. A six-letter code appears, put it on the TV, a laptop, or any screen everyone can see.
Players open this page on their own phones and type the code. No app to download, no account to make.
The shared screen shows the prompt. Everyone answers on their phone. Points tally up automatically between rounds.
Lay the laptop flat or angle the TV so nobody has to crane their neck. The shared screen is the board, treat it like one.
Don't just point at the screen. Say the six letters twice while people are still finding the join page.
If most people have answered and the room's gone quiet, end it. Momentum beats waiting for the last holdout.
In bluff rounds, the answer that sounds plausible and slightly dull fools the most people. Save the jokes for the reveal.
Hand the quiet person the next prompt to read. Everyone should touch the game at least once a round.
Switch to a faster game, cut the timer, or call last round. A short great session beats a long flat one.
Same shape, one shared screen, everyone plays on their phone, but there's nothing to buy or install. It runs in the browser, it's free, and it's built around talking to the people in the room rather than watching a show.
Yes. Share your screen the way you normally would and read the code out; remote players join on their phones exactly like people in the room. Anything that can share a screen works.
They come back to the join page, type the same code, and drop back into their seat. Their score is held for the rest of the session, so a dropped phone doesn't end anyone's game.
Three is enough to get going and it stays sharp up to about sixteen. Bigger rooms still work, but rounds run long, split into two rooms if you're over twenty.
