Host tips3
- Wi-Fi collapses when 100 people join at once. Test the venue connection beforehand and have the paper version ready.
- Not everyone has a smartphone or data, especially seniors and kids. Play in teams of one phone per table so nobody is left out.
- Leave usernames to the host or the team. People will choose rude nicknames that then appear on the big screen.
Variants2
Team play
One phone per table. Better when not everyone has a phone or data, and the table discussions are fun to watch.
Paper version
Questions on screen, answers on paper. No Wi-Fi needed — the backup when the internet fails.
