Everyone answers at once

The question goes up on the big screen and the whole room answers on their phones at the same time. Nobody sits out, so these carry any group size, from a team of five to a full conference hall.

Multiple Choice

Any number of players

The classic, with a clock on it. Everyone picks an answer, and the quick ones score more.

Ask a question with two to eight answers, add a photo or a video if you like, and watch the answers roll in. Want more drama? Switch on wager mode: players first bet part of their score, then answer. Right wins the bet, wrong loses it.

Open Question

Any number of players

No options to guess from. Players have to actually know it.

How it plays

Players type their answer freely. You set the answer and any alternatives you accept (Everest, Mount Everest, Sagarmatha), or let the AI judge whether an answer means the same thing.

Reveal

Any number of players

A picture appears bit by bit. Who recognises it first?

How it plays

Hide a landmark, a face or a logo behind a reveal effect: rotating, fading in, a growing circle or square, or a pixelated blur that sharpens. Players type their answer whenever they think they've got it.

Clues

Any number of players

Who or what is it? The clues get easier, the points get smaller.

How it plays

Clues appear one by one, as text, pictures or both, styled as plain cards or as social media posts. Each player gets a single shot: lock in early for big points, or wait for one more clue and risk being beaten to it.

List

Any number of players

We asked 100 people… Guess what's on the hidden list.

How it plays

A Family Feud style board in three modes. Top Answer: one answer each, the higher it ranks the more it's worth. Race: name as many as you can before time runs out. Elimination: take turns, and a miss knocks you out. Typos and synonyms count.

Colors

Any number of players

The answer is one or more colours. What's on the flag of Italy?

How it plays

Players pick from eleven colours on their phone. Only the exact set counts, so one missing stripe costs the round.

Connections

Any number of players

Sixteen tiles, four hidden groups. What links them?

How it plays

A wall of shuffled tiles hides four groups of four. Every player solves the wall privately on their phone: pick four that belong together and submit. A wrong guess costs one of three lives, and the clock is ticking. Afterwards the big screen slides each group together and shows who found it. Write your own groups or draw random ones from the built-in sets in English and German.

Guess, bid and bet

The answer is a number, a place, an order or a colour, so nobody is ever completely wrong. Or the points themselves are on the line: bet them, bid them, risk it all. Everyone plays at once, so any group size works.

Estimate

Any number of players

How tall, how far, how many? The closest guess wins.

The answer is a number, and nobody is ever completely wrong. Everyone scores by how close they get, the closest guess earns a bonus, and a dead-on answer earns another.

Sorting

Any number of players

Put it in order: by size, by date, by population.

How it plays

Players drag the items into order on their phone. Every item in the right place earns its share of the points, so you don't need every item right to score.

Map

Any number of players

Where on earth is it? Drop a pin.

How it plays

Everyone drops a pin on a map, and the pins appear on the big screen as they land. Points shrink with every kilometre off, and the closest pin earns a bonus.

Hue

Any number of players

Remember a colour for ten seconds, then mix it from memory.

How it plays

One colour fills the screen, then disappears. Everyone rebuilds it with hue, saturation and lightness sliders. The closer the match, the more points. It's harder than it sounds, and that's the fun.

Split

Any number of players

Spread your points over the answers. Only what's on the right one survives.

How it plays

The Money Drop idea as a round. Sure? Go all in. Torn between two? Hedge. The bets show up on the big screen as they're placed, then the wrong answers drop and take their points with them.

Outbiddery

2 players or more

An auction for the right number. Bid high, but not too high.

Everyone places one sealed bid. Then the highest bid goes up on the screen and the floor opens: anyone can raise it, every raise resets the clock, until the gavel falls. The highest bid at or under the answer wins. Overbid and you pay for it.

Fastest finger first

The real gameshow moment: phones become buzzers, and only the quickest player gets to answer. Wrong buzzes cost points, so nerves matter as much as knowledge. Best with up to eight players.

Buzzer Question

Best with up to 8

Buzz first, answer first. Get it wrong and the others get their chance.

The question and four answers appear, and everyone races for the buzzer. The first one in gets a few seconds to answer. A wrong answer locks them out and the buzzers reopen for everyone else.

Fill in the Blank

Best with up to 8

Words flicker through the gap. Buzz when the right one shows up.

How it plays

A sentence with a gap, a saying or a lyric, and words cycling through it every few seconds. Buzz on the right word to score. Buzz on a decoy and you lose points.

Pairs

Best with up to 8

Germany… Bonn? Munich? Berlin! Buzz when the match comes up.

How it plays

Pick a theme like capitals, and one half of a pair stays on screen while candidates pop up one at a time. Buzz on the match. Pairs nobody solves come back later in the round.

One of Three

Best with up to 8

Three answers, many questions. Buzz when the right one flashes up.

Set three fixed answers – say Beatles, Stones, Queen – and fire questions at them. They flash up one at a time in random order, and you buzz when the right one shows. Let it pass and it's worth less next time.

Party rounds

Here the players write the content. Lies, jokes and votes: the rounds people quote at breakfast the next morning.

Fabularasa

Best with 2–8

Invent a believable lie, then spot the truth among everyone else's.

Ask an obscure question – what was Queen's original band name? Everyone writes a fake answer that sounds true (too close to the real one gets rejected). Then the lies are mixed with the truth and everyone picks.

No Offense

Best with 2–8

Funniest answer wins. Two players, one prompt, the room votes.

How it plays

Each prompt goes to two players – "You know a restaurant is bad when the waiter says…" – and they write the punchline. Then the answers face off on the big screen and everyone votes. Win every vote for a FLAWLESS.

Emoji Charades

Best with 3–12

Explain a secret term with emoji only. No letters allowed.

How it plays

One random player gets a secret term and up to six emoji to describe it. The clue pops up on the big screen one emoji at a time, everyone else picks the answer from six options, and wrong options drop out until the right one lights up. Play it everyone-at-once, or in bluff mode, where players also write fake answers to fool each other.

Would You Rather

Best with 3–16

Pick a side of a dilemma, then guess how the room splits.

How it plays

Fight one horse-sized duck, or a hundred duck-sized horses? Everyone picks a side in secret and guesses how many in the room pick A. Then the votes come out, everyone runs to their side, and the closer your guess, the more points. Write your own dilemmas, give each side an emoji or a picture, or draw from the built-in set in English and German.

One of Us

Best with 4–14

Who in the room is most likely to…? Vote in secret, then call the verdict.

How it plays

Who is most likely to reply to a work email at 3 am? Everyone votes in secret for someone in the room, themselves included, and predicts who gets the most votes. Then the top suspects line up, a scanner sweeps between them, and the gavel falls: GUILTY. Predict the verdict to score. The round ends with a case file for every player. Write your own charges and give each an emoji or a picture, or draw from 1200 built-in ones in English and German.

You're the judge

For everything that happens off the screen: a charades round, a dance-off, a question you ask out loud. The players buzz or play, you hand out the points.

Buzzer Only

Best with up to 8

Just the buzzers. You ask, they buzz, you decide.

No question on screen, only who buzzed first. Read questions from a card, play a song on the piano, hold up an object. Award +1000, +2000, a penalty or any amount you like.
