Note that these instructions are specifically for playing indoor games. If you are looking for outdoor games, check out this article here: Playing an Outdoor Game (2)

The Set-Up

We reccomend setting up the list of team names in advance of your event - see this article here Creating team names
We recommend that every player has a desktop or laptop but you can also use a phone.
You should have received a game link for your selected game in the email when booking.
 
Tip: If you are in a confined space with little room for the teams to spread out then you could use just one device per team (i.e desktop or laptop) and each team can share just one device.
We strongly recommend checking out the game link in advance of your event to ensure that no elements are being blocked by company firewall. if the game doesn't appear as it should, check out this article for more information on what to do: My game link is not working

How it works

The organiser of your event books a game and receives the link and game instructions in an email.
The organiser sets up the team list (see above)
On the day of the event, the organiser will split the group up into teams of 4 and assign them a team name. This team name should correspond to the list of team names already created.
The Organiser send the link out to each participant and give them a short explanation of what the game is.
Everyone opens up their device, accesses the game link, watches the intro video and joins the team they have been given (see point 3 above)
The players select the team they have been assigned by the event organiser.
Each team members device becomes synchronised with their other teammates and they're nw ready to play the game.
When players join a team, their devices will become synchronised, this means that any player in that team can input and submit an answer. All players need to agree on the answer before submitting as you only have one chance per question. When a player hits next, everyone in the team will move on together.



Tip: It is a good idea to nominate a team captain who can input answers and have the final vote on any disputes.
Tip: The game link could be emailed out to the participants in advance of the event but just ask them not to click on it until instructed to do so.

Creating Teams

The host can create teams before the game begins or Players can also create their own teams when they start the game. There is no limit to how many teams can be created or how many players can play. It is recommended that each team have a maximum of 4 players. 

Check out this article on how to create your teams: Creating teams.
It is important to note that although you are creating the list of team names, you are not assigning any individuals to the teams. You can let each player know what team they should select when they start playing.
