How to play

From opening the game to crowning a winner — here's everything in six steps.

  1. 1

    Open the game on one device

    The host opens the game on any phone, tablet, or laptop. That's the only device anyone needs — everyone else watches the TV and answers out loud.

  2. 2

    Choose your mode & settings

    Pick Standard, Multi-Team, or Double Trouble. Set how many teams are playing and decide whether teams can refresh categories they don't like.

  3. 3

    Register every player by age

    Each team enters every player's name and age. The game auto-assigns each person an age tier — preschool, kids, youth, or adult — so everyone gets fair questions.

  4. 4

    Cast to your TV

    Screen-mirror or cast the browser tab to your TV. Running it at a venue? Open the synced display link or QR code on every screen in the room.

  5. 5

    Pick a category & answer

    The active team picks a category and answers 5 questions. Kids answer their own question with hints from teammates; youth and adults confer as a team.

  6. 6

    Score & race to 50

    Each correct answer is a point. The host taps the green check or red X. First to 50 wins — with sudden death to settle any ties.

The three game modes

  • ·Pick a category, answer 5 questions, 1 point each.
  • ·Kids answer individually with hints; youth & adults confer.

  • ·Ties go to sudden death.

Multi-Team Mode

3+ teams · parties & venues

  • ·Every team takes a turn each round.
  • ·Same scoring as Standard — first to 50.
  • ·Scales from 3 teams to 40+.
  • ·Great for church halls and bar trivia.

Double Trouble

youth & adult · risk/reward

  • ·5 random categories each round.
  • ·Points double: 1 → 2 → 4 → 8 → 16.
  • ·Bank your points or risk them all.
  • ·Get one wrong (adult rules) and lose the round.

The hint system

Each round, a team gets one hint for every preschool and kids player on it. When a young player is stuck, older teammates can give verbal hints — and the host taps “Use Hint” to track it. Hints reset every round. It keeps little ones in the game without making it too easy for the grown-ups.
