Live poll

Write your question and its choices (or have the AI write them), and every phone shows the choices at once.

Watch: Polls and Quick Games (3:09) · All videos

This one video covers all six quick games: the live poll, closest number, written answers, the wheel, the buzzer and the timer.

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?'.
