What's in Game Night Showdown

Phone buzzers

Guests scan the code on the TV and their phone turns into a big BUZZ button. The first one to tap wins and everyone else locks out.

100 ready-to-play rounds

Family-friendly survey questions, each with 5 or 6 ranked answers, and room for 8 when you write your own.

A real game-show board

Click a tile or press 1 to 8 to flip an answer, a big red X for strikes, and steals after three strikes.

Automatic scoring

The game keeps score, with double and triple point rounds late in the game.

Speed Round finale

25 and 30 second clocks, 5 quick questions and 200 points to win.

Winner screen

Fanfare, flashing lights and confetti for the winning team.

Original music + sounds

Game-show music and sound effects, with a music on/off button.

Question editor

Change any of the 100 rounds or build your own packs for a family reunion, birthday or office party, and save a backup file.
