About Blockbusters

Put the board on a TV or laptop, split the room into Blue and White, and everyone joins from their phone by scanning a QR code. Blue races left to right, White top to bottom, answering "What G is…?" questions to claim hexagons.

The quiz master gets their own screen on their phone, with each question and its answer and buttons to award the hexagon, so the host never has to look at the board.

Highlights

  • A 20-hexagon board in the style of the TV show
  • Phones become buzzers: scan a QR code to join a team, any time
  • The first buzz wins, and the whole board shows who buzzed
  • A quiz master's phone screen with the question, the answer and scoring buttons
  • Scores and turns tracked automatically
  • A question editor behind an admin password
