10 questions · about 30 minutes a round · most rooms play two or three

How a night runs

Two minutes of setup now, then about thirty minutes a round on the night — most rooms play two or three. You decide how far it goes before anyone walks in, and you can pull it back at any point.

  1. 1Fill the form below. Your codes appear on this page straight away.
  2. 2A few minutes before you want to start, open two links — we give you both. One goes on the big screen, one stays on a phone behind the bar.
  3. 3Press Start the night on the phone. Nothing runs until somebody does, so there is no rush and nothing to undo if you are early.

Setting it up on the night

Two links. Two devices. One button.

The screen
Open the first link on whatever drives your big screen — the pub laptop, a stick, a tablet plugged into the HDMI. Press F11 for full screen so the browser bar disappears. The room code comes up big. That is all this one ever does: nobody touches it again.
The phone
Open the second link on a phone behind the bar and keep it there. It signs itself in. If you ever type the address by hand instead, put your two codes in and press Connect. This is the only thing with controls on it, and the only thing your customers must never see — it carries the host code.
Starting
Set how far it goes, press Save setup, then press Start the night. Nothing happens until you do, so you can open both links an hour early and leave them sitting there.
While it runs
The screen looks after itself — questions, then voting, then a winner. The phone holds four buttons and you will mostly want the third: Skip ahead moves past whatever is on screen, Wrap it up jumps straight to the scores, Play again starts a fresh round on the same code with nobody rejoining, and Shut it down ends the night.

How many
Up to twelve people on their own phones. Twelve answers fit on the screen, so up to twelve everybody sees their own go up. Past that, put people in teams — one phone per team, argue about the answer, send the best one. A table of six beats six people typing alone anyway.

Set your night up

Four things and how far it goes. Your codes appear on this page the moment you press the button — no email to wait for. Ten questions, mixed at that level and below, running gentlest first, so the night climbs rather than opening at the deep end.

The venue
Whoever is running it. For the record, not for the screen.
We send the codes here as well, so you still have them tomorrow.
The night
Your own questions and who can vote for themselves are both in the console once the room exists. They are things you decide on the night, not things that should stand between you and seeing this work.
The bit that matters

This is an adult game. Low is flirty and Medium is cheeky. At High the questions are plainly sexual, and at Over the Top they are explicit — and they go up on your screen where everyone can see them, including the table who only came in for the quiz. Knowing your room is your job: who is in it, whether anyone in it is under 18, and what your licence allows. If you are not certain, run it on Low or Medium. Either is still a good night. They just will not get you a phone call in the morning.
