Wow, thanks for the heads up! Was not expecting this...

Oh, I see. No, not yet.

Yes. If a team buzzes in and the host marks their response as incorrect, they can’t buzz in again.

Yes, you just hit “Create new board” on the play.buzzinga.io page which will prompt you to sign up or log in.

Nope. Everyone should be able to see the clue, but not the answer or correct response to the clue.

There’s only two public boards: “Animals”, which I clobbered together awhile ago just as a demo for folks to test Buzzinga with. I later added the “Millennials” game, which I created myself and played with friends on a game night. Neither h

Excellent!

I’d like to make an offline mode so you can connect physical buttons/buzzers and not have to worry about connectivity/latency, etc.

This is a great idea.

When I was thinking of a name I thought, well, what do you do when you’re playing? Buzz in. So I just thought “Buzzinga.” That’s the origin story.

So overall, the site including the buzzer page uses websockets for (close to) real-time client-server communication. Obviously latency can be an issue, so my non-perfect B+ solution is to essentially calculate the round trip of the buzz, di

You'll only see it if you're logged in. I'll fix the menu button!

Thank you!

Yeah, the wording is a good point. I'll think about the color scheme.

It's possible, but there are other jeopardy game maker sites out there that charge money and have existed for 5-10+ years that do similar things but with "Jeopardy" actually in their name (e.g. jeopardylabs) Worst case, they

In the menu you'll see there is a "Show answer" button. The host can log in on a different tab or device to see the answer to the currently flipped clue.

Ha, never heard of this event. Watching the one from DEFCON 31 now. Did you play in that one?

by Wolfmans55 2y ago
No plans at the moment, but I’m not fully against the idea.
21.
by Wolfmans55 2y ago
Yeah, I made a category for a game night with friends called “Who wrote this Facebook status in ‘09?”, which was very popular. Repurposing the logic for different game shows is definitely interesting. Although I’ve matured Buzzinga in the l
