How does the Party Room work?
A host creates a room, picks the editions (or a mix), how many questions and how many seconds each card lasts, then shares a 5-letter code. Anyone can join from their phone. Everyone sees the same cards and the fastest correct answers score the most points, with a live leaderboard. The host can also open a big-screen view for a TV or projector. Rooms are free for up to 5 players, and a one-off ₦5,000 unlock removes the limit for that room.
