Setup

One player (who will become the host) starts the game by pressing “Let’s Play.” The host selects the number of questions to play, between 1 and 10. They then invite all other players to join by scanning the QR code, sending the invite link, or sharing the join code. (Note: Anyone can join, even without the app, by using their phone’s browser.) Once at least 3 players have joined, the host presses “Start Game.”

How to Play

All players are shown the same question, such as “Write 5 hobbies.” Each player types in their answers and presses the submit button. Once all players have submitted their answers, the results screen will reveal how many of your answers matched with other players. This is a fun opportunity to discuss the results, so feel free to take your time! The app will continue serving questions like this until the selected number of questions is completed. At the end, the app will display the final scores, showing the winner and the total points for each player.
