All you need is a screen (TV, projector, or monitor) connected to a device with a browser, and a separate device (phone, tablet, or laptop) for the host console. No apps, no hardware, no installation.

A QR code is displayed on your venue screen before the game starts. Guests scan it with their phone, enter their team name and a few details, and they're registered. No app download, no account creation required.

Question packs are themed sets of survey questions (Bar Life, Sports, Pop Culture, Holidays, etc.). The base pack is included with Basic and Pro plans. Additional packs are available as one-time purchases — you buy them once and they never expire.

The Speed Round is a bonus timed round available on the Pro plan. After the main tournament, the winning team (or all remaining teams) race to answer as many questions as possible within a time limit. Prize tiers are set by you in advance — the crowd loves it.

The Losers Bracket keeps eliminated teams in the game by giving them a second chance. Teams that lose in the main bracket drop into the losers bracket and keep competing. It keeps more people engaged longer, which means more ordering.
