Your TV is the game show. Phones are the buzzers!
Party games on your TV, played on your phones. Arnold (the virtual host) runs the night on the TV. Everyone plays on their own phone, and the host steers it all from Backstage. For every age: kids, teens, families and friends.
Try it free for a month. No card needed!
How does it work?
The TV is the stage and every phone is a buzzer. Only the host needs an account: everyone else scans the TV and joins on their phone, no app needed. Arnold (the virtual host) and Lily (the virtual co-host) show you how.

The games
Quizzes, survey games, buzzer boards, secret roles, card games, poker and more, for groups of up to 20.
Quizzes
- Ready-made. Quizzes we make and keep fresh: movies, music, emoji puzzles, sport, animals and more.
- Make your own. Your questions, your pictures and clips. Family trivia and inside jokes welcome.
- Make one with AI. Type a topic and who’s playing, like “Harry Potter, for 12-year-olds”. You check every question before it’s played.
What are the three ways to play a quiz?
Everyone guesses: every phone answers and everyone who is right scores. Buzz first: the fastest buzzer answers. Say it out loud: players answer to the room and a Quizmaster judges, so the Quizmaster does not play that quiz.
How do I make a quiz about my guests?
Send your guests a private link before the party. They answer at home (baby photos, whose voice is this, two truths and a lie), and on the night the TV turns their answers into the quiz.
What is a show?
A show is your whole night, set up in advance. Put games and quizzes in a running order, and the night flows from one to the next with music and the host talking.
The points add up across every game to one big winner. One whole show counts as one play.
