when it counts
The fun counts.
When it counts, the room can’t tell.
Only when you say so.
Switched on before the first question.
Right and wrong only.
Never speed, points or the wager.
It only goes up.
Seventy percent is full credit. No game yet, never zero.
The comeback.
New questions for just what they missed.
Never on a public screen.
Producer only.
Made fair.
More time, fewer options, or Spanish beside English.
for producers
Make it in a minute. Run it from one screen.
Describe it
Describe it, drop in YouTube links, or paste a table. Claude writes it, and you change anything.
The station
Start, reveal, end. Who is struggling, in view.
Lineup
IDs and PINs, and a record that follows each contestant.
Play-along and Rerun
Open for an hour or two weeks, or solo on any phone.
Satellite
On a video call. Share the projector, play on phones.
why glitch!
Built for the whole room, not the fastest thumbs.
01
A game, not a test.
No single game is a verdict.

Speed is a choice.
Race, flat, or no timer.
03
Nobody gets lost.
Drop off the wifi, come back as yourself.
04
It stays here.
Our own server. No ads, no email, cleared June 30.
