Looking for a Jeopardy Buzzer, Family Feud Buzzer, Quiz Bowl Buzzer, Trivia Buzzer, or playing any kind of game where a buzzer is needed to decide who rang in first? This app is a wireless, easy, and free solution! One person plays as a Host, and then up to 15 other devices can join via Bluetooth as Players, or even more can join via the Internet. This app does NOT contain any questions, but it DOES allow you to add a way to "Buzz In", award points, and/or keep time to any game which calls for it. The first Player to signal shows up as green on both his device and to the Host; the rest of the Players are then locked from answering until the Host clears, awards points, and allows more buzzing. You can keep track of scores, and customize the value of right or wrong answers. You can group players into teams, and track scores by both player and by team. You can add optional Bonus Points if your game calls for it. You can even add a Game Timer to know when your game is done! Short on people? One person can serve as both the Player *and* the Host, awarding points while still being able to buzz in! EZBuzzer could be used for Pub Trivia, Quiz Bowl / College Bowl, games such as Jeopardy or Family Feud, or classroom activities! Replace messy wired buzzer systems with ease...or add an impartial judge to your game instead of guessing who was first! EZBuzzer works best over Bluetooth - no hassle with joining a WiFi network or dropped WiFi signals. Remote players can join too via the Internet, if desired. Initial start-up is simple: One person should sign on as a Host or PlayerHost, and then all others as Players. Nearby Players will automatically connect via Bluetooth to the Host, and then the fun can begin! Remote players can activate Internet functionality in settings, enter their Host's Room Code, and join as well. Enjoy! Feedback is welcome!
