FAQ
Can a meeting game really fit into 5 minutes?
Yes, if the host chooses a browser-based format and limits the room to a small number of rounds. The setup should take seconds, not minutes.
Which game is fastest?
Would You Rather is fastest because everyone only picks between two answers. Trivia works when you have at least three minutes.
Should the host explain rules first?
Use one sentence: join the link, pick a nickname, answer from your device. The interface should do the rest.
