One screen, a few phones, one big game

The TV is the stage and the host. Phones are the buzzers. You just gather the crew — the narrator does the rest.

Up and running in three steps

1

Turn it on the big screen

Buzzin is a browser renderer. Open it on a TV with a browser (Android TV), a Chromecast, or a laptop/PC connected to the telly. Nothing to install on the screen.

2

Share the room code

The TV shows a short code (4–5 characters) and a QR code. Players scan it or type the code on their phone — they join via browser or app, with no account.

3

Pick characters and play

Everyone enters a nickname and picks a character. The narrator greets the crew and kicks off the show. From now on you watch the TV — your phone is your controller.

Acts, rankings, the final

  • An act = 1 category + 3 questions. After each act — a ranking on the big screen, then the next act or the final.
  • Category voting. Four category cards and a timer appear on the phones. The winning category is revealed on the TV — you decide what comes next.
  • A/B/C/D questions. The reader finishes the question, you answer from your phone. The correct answer never reaches the phone — there's no way to peek.

Tricks and sabotage

Before most questions you pick a trick and a target. You can make a rival's life harder — fog up their screen, freeze it, shuffle it — or play defensively and protect yourself. The narrator comments on every move, and the victim's character fires back.

  • Offensive tricks — make the question harder for a chosen player (the effect shows on their phone).
  • Defensive tricks — e.g. a shield or narrowing down the answers for yourself.
  • The narrator reads every move — everyone knows who got whom.
StunStars swirl over your rival's head — their answering rhythm is gone.
FreezeIce locks the rival's screen — answering gets slippery.
PaintSplat! Paint blobs flood the question screen.
BugsRoaches crawl across your rival's screen. Bon appétit.
SurpriseA random effect from the pool: upside down, blur or spotlight.
ShieldDefense — blocks two incoming tricks this round.
HelpDims two wrong answers on your own phone.

A sudden-death final

Finalists get lives based on their place in the ranking — the leader starts ahead. A wrong answer, or none at all, costs a life. Zero lives = your stand goes dark and you're out. The game runs until one player is left. At the end: “We have a winner!” and an ovation.

A voiced narrator runs the whole show

You don't need a compère — a voiced narrator runs the show. The host pumps up the energy, jokes and roasts players based on the character they picked. The reader calmly and clearly reads every question and trick description. The pacing waits until the narrator finishes — nothing gets cut off mid-sentence.

Disconnected? You return to your seat

WiFi dropped, you closed the tab, reloaded the page — you return to the same seat in the game.

Whole crew dropped on one WiFi? The game auto-pauses and resumes when you're back.

The TV holds the audio and auto-pauses the game if it loses connection — nobody gets left behind.
