Live quiz game

Turn any quiz into a live game show

Host a presenter-paced quiz where everyone plays along on their phones — colour-and-shape buzzers, a live leaderboard, and a podium finish.

Host on the big screen
The question and coloured answer tiles show on the presenter; the room reads along.
Phones are buzzers
Players tap a colour + shape — no answer text, so no one copies off a neighbour's screen.

A lobby shows who has joined; start the game when everyone is in.
Faster answers score more
A per-question timer with a speed bonus, revealed to everyone at once.
