Gig Game is a web-based platform for hosting live games at real-world events: bar trivia, bingo nights, scavenger hunts, drawing games, classroom reviews, fundraisers and more. You run the game from your browser. Your players join on their own phones. A shared screen ties the room together.
There is nothing to install and nothing for your players to download. A player scans a QR code (or types a short code), picks a name, and plays.
#Who uses Gig Game
- Independent game hosts and DJs who run trivia, bingo or karaoke nights.

- Event companies and game show companies that run games for clients.
- Teachers, trainers and company teams who want a lively way to review or bond.
- Nonprofits and party hosts running fundraisers, reunions and celebrations.
#The pieces, in plain words

|---|---|---|
| Host Hub | The website where you browse games, schedule events, build trivia, manage contacts and manage your plan. It lives at giggame.app. | You, the host |
| Host Console | The control room for a running game. You start rounds, pace the game and see who is playing. | You, on a laptop or desktop |
| HUD (big screen) | The Heads Up Display: the screen the whole room watches, such as questions, boards, scores and leaderboards. | Everyone in the room |
| Player controller | Each player's own phone or tablet, where they answer, mark a card, buzz in or draw. | Your players |
