How to play

  1. Wait for the question to arm, then buzz.
  2. The earliest press answers, measured on a shared clock so a slow Wi-Fi connection does not cost you.
  3. Buzzing before the question arms is a false start and sits you out for that question.
  4. A wrong answer locks you out; the next fastest gets a go. 1 point (2 for the golden question).

There are 491 questions for this game, each checked against a named source that is shown when the answer is revealed. Questions are picked to suit the youngest player's age.

What the app does for you

The app shows each question with four options, collects answers (on phones, or the host taps the team that got it), reveals the right answer with its source and keeps the score. The last question of each round is worth double. You can undo a score at any time.

Played with everyone's phone: the host screen shows a QR code and a 4-letter code, and phones join in the browser. No app or account.
