A real game show, not a poll
Five categories, five values each, easy to hard. Teams pick, you read, and buzzers open when you say so. The fastest press answers out loud, and you tap right or wrong.
A free Kahoot alternative with a game show board
Kahoot! asks everyone the same question at once. LiveGameShow plays like a TV game show instead: teams pick a category and a value, you read the clue, and the first phone to buzz in answers. Free to start, with no session timer.
