Turn every phone in the room into a game show buzzer. One person hosts on their phone. Everyone else joins from theirs. Open a round, players buzz, and the app tells you who was first. Award points, see the scoreboard, play the next question. JOIN IN SECONDS • The host gets a 4-letter room code, big enough to read across the room. • Players type the code or scan the QR code, enter a name, and they're in. • A wrong code never drops anyone into an empty lobby. You only see the game once the host's room confirms you. WHO BUZZED FIRST • Buzzes are ordered by when each player actually pressed, not by whose connection was faster. • The host sees the full buzz order with the time gap behind first place. • Each player sees their own place right away. Close calls are flagged as too close to call. RUN THE SHOW • Mark answers right or wrong. A wrong answer can pass the question to the next player in line. • Live scoreboard between rounds, with ties shown as ties. • Teams: split players into Red, Blue and Green and add up their points. • Answer timer and custom points for right and wrong answers. • Up to 100 players in one room. BUILT TO STAY CONNECTED • If a phone locks, switches networks or drops for a moment, it reconnects automatically. Nobody retypes the code, and scores are kept. • The host sees who is connected and who is reconnecting. • Players don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi. IPAD HOST DESK On iPad, the host gets a desk layout: the buzz order, the judging buttons and a full scoreboard on one screen. Set it on the table and run the whole game from there. BUZZER COLORS Pick the buzzer color for the room: vermilion, marigold, mint or ivory. Every player's buzzer matches the host's pick. GOOD FOR Trivia nights, quiz bowl practice, classrooms, training sessions, team events, youth groups and family game night. FREE AND PRO • Players always join free. No account, no ads. • Your first hosted game night is free, with every feature unlocked. • After that, hosting is part of Pro. Choose Pro monthly, Pro yearly, a 48-hour Party Pass with nothing to cancel, or a one-time lifetime unlock. • Hosting since the early days? You get Pro at half price. • If anyone in the room has Pro, the host can open the game with it. Pro monthly and yearly renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. The Party Pass and lifetime unlock do not renew. Privacy Policy: https://digitalbunker.dev/privacy-policy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
