The TV is the stage, the phone is the controller — how Buzzin works

Most mobile quizzes look the same: everyone stares at their own phone, someone reads a question out loud, the rest tap. You're technically playing together, but everyone's locked in their own screen. Buzzin flips that — the whole spectacle happens on the TV, and the phone is what a button console is in a TV studio.

What the TV does, and what the phone does

The TV is the stage: it's where the characters, categories, questions, leaderboard and all the game-show glitter live. The voiced host runs the show and reads the questions — always to the end, because the game's pacing waits for the voice, not the other way round.

The phone is the controller: A/B/C/D answer buttons, category votes, and tricks to mess with your rivals. There's deliberately nothing to read there — eyes belong on the shared screen, not in your hand.

The whole game lives on the server

Neither the TV nor the phones know the answers in advance — the server decides everything, and the screens just draw what they're told. Nobody can peek at the right answer in the page source, and there's exactly one shared result per round.

The same mechanism saves the night when tech fails: if someone's phone dies or drops off WiFi, they rejoin in exactly the same seat. And if the whole crew loses the network, the game pauses itself and resumes when you're back.

Zero installs — for real

Buzzin runs in the browser: on an Android TV, through Chromecast, or from a laptop plugged into the screen. Players don't install anything either — they scan a QR code, pick a nickname and play. The first question can land before the drinks are poured.

This isn't a demo of "the real app" — this is the full game. And since Buzzin is a platform, more games will land on the same screen and the same phones.
