Every game is played on the big screen and on guests' phones, runs from the same console, and keeps score for you. Alongside them are the show mechanics that run the night.
Rounds with players, answers and a winner. Add as many as you like to a show.
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
How it works
Everyone gets their own card
Call numbers B1 to O75, play with your own items - movie quotes, office in-jokes, whatever fits the night - or make every square a song. Each player daubs their own card on their phone and claims BINGO; the server checks the claim so nobody has to argue. Choose what wins each round, and pay only the first winner or every player who calls a valid BINGO.
On phones: A personal card and a BINGO button
How it works
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.
On phones: Watch the big screen
How it works
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
How it works
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
How it works
Songs on the TV, guesses on the phones
Play a clip and let players type the song title: the faster the right guess, the more it scores. Pick songs from your Spotify songs, the songs that come with the platform, or music on your own computer, or let the template pick some at random. The answer is revealed with the clip and scores go straight to the board.
On phones: A guess box
How it works
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
How it works
Closer to the price wins
Show a product, a car, a house; players guess the price on their phone. The closest guess takes the points - or the closest without going over, like the TV game. Type your items and prices, or have the AI write a list to check.
On phones: A number box
How it works
Every square is a song
Make bingo a listening game: every square on a card is a song title. You call the next song, its clip plays on the TV, and guests find the title on their phone. What has been called stays hidden until you show it, you can replay any song, and the Cards tab shows any guest's card. Songs from Spotify can open in their own window by themselves.
On phones: A card of song titles and a BINGO button
How it works
Guess the most popular answers
Ask a survey question, like name something people pack for a holiday, and let guests guess how the survey came out: put the answers in order, or just pick the number one answer. Reveal the ranking one place at a time, last place first, and score the guesses. The AI can write the questions from a topic.
On phones: Pick or rank the answers
How it works
No right answer: the majority wins
Ask opinion questions, like which pizza topping is best, and let everyone vote on their phone. There is no right answer: the biggest group wins, and every guest who sided with it scores the points. The AI can write the questions from a topic.
On phones: Vote on the choices
How it works
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
How it works
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
How it works
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
How it works
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
How it works
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
How it works
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
How it works
Spin the board, then bank it or risk one more
One More Spin is a bonus board: a guest spins, taps STOP, wins what the lit space says, and chooses to bank it or risk one more spin.
On phones: A Stop button, then bank or spin again
How it works
A horse race that runs on taps
Tap Derby is a horse race for teams: every guest taps a big button on their phone to make their team's horse run.
On phones: A big tap button
How it works
Guess how many people said yes
Crowd Percent asks how many people said yes to a survey question. Every guest guesses the percentage on their phone, and the closest guesses score the most.
On phones: A percentage slider to lock in
How it works
Vote the wrong answers off the board
Only One puts a question on the screen with a board of answers, and only one is right. The room votes the answers they think are wrong off the board, and the right one must survive.
On phones: Vote on the answers
How it works
Find the true statements in a pile of lies
Truth in the Lies shows a subject and a pile of statements. Most are false, and a few are secretly true. Guests tap the ones they believe.
On phones: Tap the statements you believe
How it works
Buzz in and claim one of three right answers
In Three Answers, every question has exactly three right answers hidden among a few wrong ones. Guests race to buzz in, and the fastest gets first choice.
On phones: A Buzz in button, then the answers
How it works
Describe it without saying it
In Category Climb, teams take turns: one player describes words without saying them, and their team shouts the answers. Enough right answers climb the team to a harder category.
On phones: The clue giver's word and buttons
How it works
Spread your tokens over the answers
In Risk Your Answer, guests spread tokens over the answers to a question. Tokens on the right answer score and are kept. Tokens on wrong answers are lost for good.
On phones: Plus and minus buttons for each answer
How it works
Put every number in its place
In Number Line, every guest has an empty line of slots. Everyone is dealt the same numbers one at a time, and each number must go in a slot that keeps the line in order.
On phones: A line of empty slots
How it works
Trivia that builds your bankroll
Trivia Market is rapid multiple choice trivia where every right answer adds to a guest's bankroll, and the leader is offered a chance to spend some of it on a reward.
On phones: Choices, then Buy or Pass for the leader
How it works
Add up to the target without going over
In Close Enough, guests take turns revealing hidden items to add up to a target amount without going over. Closest to the target wins the round.
On phones: The face-down tiles on your turn
How it works
Keep your vault or take the offer
In Take the Offer, one guest plays against the appraiser. They keep one sealed vault, open the rest a few at a time, and after each round decide whether to take a sure offer or keep playing.
On phones: The vaults, and the offer to take or refuse
How it works
One real meaning among the fakes
Fact or Fake shows an odd word and several explanations, and only one is true. Guests write convincing fakes, then everybody votes for the one they think is real.
On phones: Write a fake, then vote
How it works
Right answers move your racer along the track
In Trivia Race, teams or players run along a track. Everyone answers each multiple choice question, and a right answer moves the racer forward, further for harder questions.
On phones: The answer choices
How it works
Spin, call a letter, solve the phrase
Phrase Wheel hides a phrase behind blank tiles. On their turn a guest spins the wheel, calls a letter, and wins the wedge's value for every match, then tries to solve the phrase.
On phones: A spin button, a keypad and a solve box
How it works
A clue board: buzz in, then type the answer
Answer First is a clue board with categories and rising values. The player in control picks a tile, everyone races to buzz in, and the fastest types the answer.
On phones: The tiles, a buzzer and an answer box
How it works
Work out the hidden scoring rule
In Mystery Rules, guests answer a prompt, and a hidden rule decides the points. The scores are the clue, and guests try to work out the rule.
On phones: An answer box, then a guess at the rule
How it works
Teams take turns filling a crossword
In Crossword Clash, teams take turns answering clues to fill a crossword. Every word uncovers part of a master answer that a team can gamble on.
On phones: The clues and an answer box
How it works
Argue the side you are given
In Take a Side, two debaters are given opposite sides of a proposition at random, whatever they believe. They argue it, and the rest of the room votes for the better argument.
On phones: Your side and your turn, then the vote
How it works
Trivia moves you along a winding board
In Prize Path, teams or players answer trivia to move along a winding board. Every space does something, and the first to the finish wins.
On phones: The answer choices
How it works
A course of quick challenges, first to finish wins
In Rapid Run, every guest runs the same course of short challenges on their phone at their own pace. Clear one to unlock the next, and be first to finish.
On phones: The challenges, one at a time
How it works
The earlier you solve it, the more it scores
In Word Clues, a hidden word is shown as blank tiles, and clues appear one at a time. Guests type guesses at any moment, and the earlier you solve it, the more it is worth.
On phones: A guess box
How it works
Create something that uses every element
In Mystery Basket, guests get a creative brief and a basket of surprise elements, and must use every element. The entries go up anonymously and the room votes.
On phones: An entry box, then a vote
How it works
Everyone stays silent while someone performs
In Keep It Quiet, one guest performs a funny challenge while everyone else must stay silent. A noise meter on the TV counts every outburst as a strike.
On phones: The challenge, and a microphone switch
How it works
Call heads or tails and stay in
In Pick a Side, everybody calls one of two outcomes, like heads or tails. A coin is flipped, and those who called it wrong pay.
On phones: Two buttons to call the outcome
How it worksNot games: the tools that run the show around them. Scores, teams, the player funnel, timers, screens, polls and queues work with every game.
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
How it works
Song requests, karaoke, questions and dares
A line guests join from their phones. A DJ takes song requests (song and artist) that guests vote up or down, a karaoke host keeps a fair line with a clock, and a speaker takes questions that the room votes up. The same step runs dares, shout-outs and a simple who-is-up-next line. Pick what it is for, rename every label, and choose whether guests can vote, whether you approve each one first, and whether a clock runs for whoever is on.
On phones: Type a request, or tap Join
How it works
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
How it works
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
How it works
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
How it works
Narrow the field, round by round
Keep the top scorers in and take everyone else out: the top number or the top percent, or one click per player. Then set any game to use the funnel, so only the players still in it can play and the rest see Please wait. Perfect for a show that builds to a final.
On phones: Please wait, until you are in
How it works
Countdowns and stopwatches
Start a countdown or a stopwatch on the TV, pause it, add time, and let it sound a buzzer at zero.
How it works
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
How it works
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.
How it worksMix any of them into one running order and let your AI cohosts keep it moving while you host.
