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