Pacing modes

Pacing controls who answers, when they answer, and how points are scored. The right pacing sets the energy of the room: keep it fast and loud, fair and inclusive, or tense and dramatic.

Three ways to run a turn.

Every game can be paced to match the room. Here is how each mode plays and the kind of energy it creates.

Fastest Finger

Speed is everything.

Everyone races to answer first. The faster a correct answer comes in, the more points it scores, so hesitation costs you. Perfect when you want the room loud, quick, and a little chaotic.

Vibe

High energy, chaotic

Best for

Warming up a crowd and high-tempo rounds

All Play (Standard)

Everyone answers at once.

The whole room answers the same question at the same time. Every correct answer scores the same points, so there is no rush and no advantage to being quickest. Built for group debate, fairness, and keeping everyone involved.

Vibe

Inclusive, fair

Best for

Group debate, mixed-ability rooms, fairness

Hot Seat

Teams take turns under pressure.

Teams take it in turns. One team answers while the rest of the room watches and waits. The spotlight builds tension and makes every answer a moment. Dramatic, high stakes, and great for a captive audience.

Vibe

High pressure, dramatic

Best for

Team battles and big-screen moments

Pacing and your plan

Choose the pacing, or let the game choose for you.

  • On the Free plan, every game runs on its recommended default pacing. Every game ships with a recommended default, so it always plays well out of the box.

  • With the Party Pass, you choose the pacing mode for each game to match the room. Swap a quiz into Fastest Finger to lift the energy, or drop it into Hot Seat for a big-screen finale.
