Field guide

Run a smooth show

The simple sequence is question, answer, award, board. Everything else is there when you need it.

Before the room fills

Create a game, choose its categories and point values, and finish the Review checklist.
Open the Host Dashboard and choose how many teams are playing.
Choose Open Presentation, then drag that window to the projector.
Choose Enter Fullscreen inside the presentation window.
Select a clue from the private host board.

Chrome or Edge generally provide the most reliable second-window experience. If nothing opens, allow popups for this site.

Scoring a clue

Reveal the answer, then choose the winning team under Award points. The exact clue value is added automatically, the clue is marked played, and the presentation returns to the board.

Use Undo for an accidental award, or reopen the clue and remove its awarded points. The Final Score screen ranks every team.

Backups matter

Games and images live only in this browser. Clearing site data can remove them.

Use Export on each game card to save a portable .gsgame backup. Import restores the board, branding, settings, and all images.

Presentation recovery

If the audience window is refreshed or reopened, it requests the current state and resumes the exact active screen, scores included. The host dashboard remains authoritative.

If connection status turns red, reopen the presentation. Your played clues, scores, and active view remain saved locally.
