Question sources and difficulty

Difficulty depends on your crowd. The library identifies the source, category, and difficulty of each pack; imported source difficulty is preserved. Hosts make the final judgment on equivalent answers.

Read the quick start and Wi-Fi tips

A few things before the first question.

Do players install anything?

No. They scan the QR code and play in their phone browser on the host’s Wi-Fi. The host opens the downloaded app, which already includes its runtime.

Will my computer show a security prompt?

Allow local network or firewall access so phones can join. This Mac release is Developer ID signed but has not been Apple-notarized; macOS may block it on first launch. Windows may show SmartScreen because this release is unsigned. Only proceed with a download you trust. See the host guide for details.

Can I host for people across the internet?

This edition is built for a shared local network. The public browser round works on one device; it does not create an online multiplayer room. You can stream the public display, while local players join by phone.

Can I choose the questions before game night?

Yes. The host’s private library lets you search questions, check their answers and sources, and save an ordered lineup of up to 100. Each planned question opens privately before you choose to show it. The lineup stays saved on your computer.

Can I use my own questions?

Yes. Upload Excel, CSV, or TSV in the question library. Choose a worksheet, preview it, and import without restarting. For Google Sheets, download as Excel or CSV first. You can also write a question directly in the app.

What if someone disconnects?

Their score and player identity are saved. Reopening the same link in the same phone browser reconnects them. The host computer must stay running and awake.
