How the lockout works
When a question goes up, the buzzers stay closed until the host opens them. A phone pressed too early sits out for half a second, which is enough to make waiting worth it.
A trivia buzzer on every phone
Everyone opens the code on their phone and gets a big buzzer. The TV and the host see who pressed first and who's next in line.

Questions
Good to know
Does it work for any game, not just the board?
The buzzers are built into the board. Use a board of your own questions for anything else.
How is first place decided?
By the order the presses reach our server.
Do players need an app?
No. The buzzer runs in the phone's browser.
