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

Written answers

An open question that guests answer in a few words. You can show the answers on the TV as they arrive, or hold them back for a reveal. You can give a point to any answer you like, and remove one you do not want shown. Everything players type is cleaned and profanity-masked before it appears.
