The Player App

Players don't need to download anything. Their phone becomes their buzzer, answer pad, and personal scoreboard.

Joining a Game

Players can join in two ways:

📷Scan QR Code

Scan the code shown on the TV Display Lobby screen.

🌐URL & Code

Go to hostaquiz.com/play and enter the Game Code manually.

Interface Modes

The app interface changes automatically based on the current Clue settings.

🚨

The Buzzer

A massive button. Tap it fast! If locked out, it turns Red. If you win, it turns Green and your phone vibrates (if supported).

A/B

Multiple Choice

Displays 4 large options (A, B, C, D). Players select one. The choice is locked in once tapped.

💰

Wagering

For Wager Clues, a keypad appears. Players enter their bet (up to their current score).

Transfer Device

Did a player's phone die? Or do they want to switch to a tablet?

Use the Transfer button at the top right of the player screen.

  1. Tap "Transfer" on the old device (or see it on the TV ending screen).
  2. A unique QR code appears containing a "Magic Token".
  3. Scan it with the new device.
  4. Success! The player is instantly logged in on the new device with their score intact.
