What it is
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.
Add it to your show
It is one step in your Rundown, like any other game. Add it where you want it to play.
- Open the Rundown tab and press Add.
- Choose Pick a Side from the menu. It joins the end of the list and opens on the right.
Set it up
The settings choose the two outcomes: heads and tails, red and black, left and right, high and low, odd and even, or any pair of your own.
Choose what being wrong costs: you are out, you lose a life, or you lose points. Then choose how long guests have to call it, and the points for each round survived and for winning.
The Sounds tab picks the sound effect for each moment of the game.
Call it
Every guest calls one of the two outcomes on their phone. They can change their call until the round closes.
The coin is flipped
When you flip, a big coin spins on the TV. Whoever called it wrong pays. In this game each guest has two lives, so a wrong call costs a life. A real coin works too, and you can type in what it showed.
Round after round
Rounds repeat until one guest is left. A round where everyone is wrong is simply replayed. The last guest standing wins.
Your controls on the Live tab
On the Live tab, Start opens the first round, Flip closes the calls and flips the coin, Next round opens the next one, and End the game stops now so that whoever is left wins.
Tip The same keys are on the Host Remote, so you can run Pick a Side from a phone or tablet.
How it ends
The TV shows who is still in, and how many lives they have left.
