This is a round of picture questions, each built around an image. Answer correctly to score points for yourself and your team.
Each question shows a picture on the TV and on your phone. Tap it to see it full-screen.
How a round plays out
A question appears on the TV and on your phone. The TV shows how many people have answered so far.
Multiple choice and true or false: tap your pick, then press Lock Answer. Once it is locked it can't be changed. Forgot to lock it? Your pick locks in during the last second. Short answer: type it and press Submit; once submitted it can't be changed either. On paper, you write it on your team sheet, and your phone shows the question with no answer box.
Once the host shows the answer, no more answers count, even if the host puts the question back up later (unless the host chooses to ask it again). Your phone tells you whether you got it right when the answer is shown, not before.
You earn a point for every question you get right. Your team earns a point on any question that more than half of the team answers correctly. A wrong answer just scores nothing, with no penalty.
Host setup options
| Option | What it controls |
|---|---|

How many questions are in the round.
Sets the length of the round. A new round in the Game Designer starts at 10, and the slider runs from 1 to 25.
|
| Answer mode Default: mobile |
How players answer.
Paper: teams write on a sheet and you enter each team's round score, as a total or question by question in the live console's By question grid. Mobile: everyone answers on their phone and the app grades it. Hybrid: phones, plus grade buttons for any paper answers you mark by hand. The platform default is Mobile; the Game Designer pre-selects Hybrid when you build a new round.

🏆 Glory Points
Round points decide the game, but they're separate from Glory Points (GP), the season-long score that ranks you across every game mode.
This round feeds your game score, and GP is awarded once when the whole game finishes. See the Glory Points guide for the full breakdown.
Strategy & tips
Answer everything. There's no penalty for a wrong guess, so a blank is never better than a try.
On team questions, it pays to confer. A team point needs more than half of you right, so talk it out before you lock in.
Fairness & the fine print
Each correct answer is worth one point to you. Teams score a point on a question only when more than half the team gets it right, so an exact 50-50 split earns the team nothing.
Team size counts everyone on the team, including anyone who did not answer.
Wrong answers never cost you points.
The host can overrule any grade, before or after confirming scores. A changed grade moves the player and team points too, and a team point is never counted twice.
The order of the multiple-choice options is shuffled for each question and game, so the right answer's position gives nothing away.
Tied teams share a place on the scoreboard. To split them, hosts often ask one number question and the closest guess wins.
The host sets the question timer in the live console: Off, or 15 to 120 seconds. With the timer off, the host reveals the answer when ready, and the reveal closes the question.
Host Settings keeps a default question time (default 30 seconds, settable from 5 to 120). The live console starts from it until the host picks a timer there.
Paper rounds can be scored question by question, with house rules like a once-per-game joker and list questions scored per item. The host handbook's Paper nights page covers it, along with closest-number tiebreaks.
With Auto Assist on, the host gets grading suggestions, read-aloud, and pacing hints. A clear match counts for its player right away; team points wait until the host confirms scores, and the host can flip any grade.
