## What is Cue Quest® Shot Clock?

Built for the people who run leagues, tournaments and game nights. Put any tablet where the room can see it, then run the clock from your pocket while you rack tables, talk to players and keep the night moving. Co-hosts can run it too, and anyone in the room can watch along live.

Most shot clocks are one device: a phone propped on the rail that somebody has to stand over all night. Cue Quest splits the job in two. Set up any tablet or old phone where the room can see it as the display, then run it from your pocket.

THE DISPLAY
One enormous number, readable across a dim bar. White while there is time, amber at ten seconds, red at five, and a buzzer at zero. A ring of notches around the number, one per second of the shot, empties as the time runs out. Above it, tonight's game, the venue and the prize. Below it, who is at the table and how many extensions each player has left.

THE REMOTE
One screen that follows the clock. In play it folds down to a big ring, Pause and Reset, with setup behind the ⋯ menu. With extensions on, each player gets a +EXT button with their name and extensions left. Stop the clock and the setup comes back. Start a new rack, add ten seconds when the night needs it, set the shot time and the time after the break, then lock the rules for the night. Anything you do lands on every display in the room.

THE ROOM WATCHES ALONG
Between racks, and once a clock has sat at zero for 3 seconds, the display shows a code labeled "For Spectators". Anyone in the room scans it with their camera and the live clock opens in their browser, with the game, the prize and who is playing. Nothing to install, no account. They tap an emoji and it floats up the shot clock across the room, and the display shows how many are watching. Spectators can never control the clock, and one setting turns the watch link off.

CO-HOSTS
Hand a friend the display code and their phone becomes a second remote. More than one tablet can show the clock too, so a long room can have a screen at each end.

IT KEEPS RUNNING WITHOUT WIFI
The display owns the clock. It counts down from a deadline it holds itself, so if the venue's wifi drops mid-rack, the number, the colors and the buzzer all carry on exactly as they were. Only new commands need a connection. No wifi at all? Share your phone's hotspot, or use the standalone clock, which needs no network and no setup whatsoever.

MESSAGE THE ROOM
Push "BREAK — 5 MIN" or "LAST CALL FOR ENTRIES" to every display, in white, green, amber or red, under the clock or full screen, for a set time or until you clear it.

SAVE THE NIGHT
Name a setup once — the shot time, the game, the prize — and bring it all back next week in one tap.

SET UP IN UNDER A MINUTE
Open the app on a tablet, choose Use as Display, and it shows a QR code. Scan it with your phone. That is the whole thing. The pairing is remembered, so next week the tablet just works. The first time you open the remote, How this works shows you around, one control at a time.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, Deutsch, Español and Français, following your device's language.

Free. No account needed.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-08

The remote is now one screen that follows the clock. In play: a big ring, a +EXT button per player with their name and extensions left, Pause and Reset, with setup behind the ⋯ menu. Stop the clock and the setup comes back.

Fixed: when a display launched, both players showed their extensions as used up until names were saved.

The display's title can show your venue. The codes also come back once a clock has sat at 0 for 3 seconds: For Spectators, and the right-hand code, which now takes turns between finding a table and getting Shot Clock.

Paused and Ready now fade, and the number stays still.

Remotes keep up at once. After you tap Start, every remote and the spectators' phones show it right away.

New rack is smaller, and you can take it back: after it gives the extensions back, tap Undo.

Identify flashes the whole display and shows its name, so you can tell which tablet is which.

+EXT rests while the clock is stopped, so an extension can't be used up for nothing.

The remote and the watch page can keep your phone's screen on during a shot.

Message the display opens with what's already showing, so fixing a typo doesn't mean retyping it.

A full-screen message pauses a running clock, and starting the clock clears the message.

Buttons now respond the moment you touch them.

On phones, the standalone clock now vibrates at 10 seconds, at 5 and at 0, like the remote. You can turn it off in Sound settings.

New here? Tap How it works on the first screen for a short demo of the display, a remote and a spectator's phone.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-11-02

No release notes.
