On the TV: no. Buzzin runs in the browser. Players on phones don't have to download anything either: they join via the browser with a room code. You can install the app (iOS/Android), but that's an option, not a requirement. No account required.
The TV shows a short room code (4-5 characters) and a QR code. Each player scans the QR or types the code on their phone, enters a nickname and picks a character: the phone becomes a controller with A/B/C/D buttons and tricks.
Yes, players always play free, with no account and no installs. The host pays: the party organizer who opens the room. Players just scan the code and play.
Comfortably 2-8 players, up to 12 technically. It works great at bigger parties, where you play in teams.
A screen with a browser: a TV with Android TV, a Chromecast, or a laptop or PC connected to the TV or a projector. Plus players' phones with internet. Nothing else to buy.
Buzzin runs in the browser, so you can run it anywhere there's a browser, including a console's browser. The most reliable and simplest options, though, are Android TV, a Chromecast or a plain laptop connected to the TV.
No. The built-in host runs the show: someone just starts the room on the TV and picks a mode. You don't have to hire anyone or play emcee yourself.
Yes, fully: the questions, the host and the characters are made natively in English. There are two voices: an energetic host who runs the show, and a clear announcer who finishes every question. More languages are on the roadmap.
It's not tapping on a phone. Buzzin is a full game show on the big screen: a host, characters, tricks, category voting and a sudden-death final. Phones are the controllers, not the whole game.
Same idea (a party game on your TV with your phone as the controller), but Buzzin is free to try and zero-install: you don't pay up front just to find out if your crew likes it. It's an original game built from scratch, not affiliated with any other brand.
No. All game logic lives on the server: the TV and phones only render what the server sends. The correct answer never reaches the phone, so there's no way to "peek". Fair play by design.
They return to the same seat in the game. And if the whole crew drops on one WiFi, the game auto-pauses and resumes when you're back: nobody gets left behind.
Buzzin is a platform. Right now you play the game show: a quiz with a fully voiced host, tricks, category voting and a sudden-death final. We add more games and modes like swappable blocks, and new themes and updates land on a rolling basis.
