🐝 The trivia buzzer

A free buzzer for a trivia night or a classroom game. Pick the teams by tapping their animals, then each team gets one big button on this screen. The first team to press rings the bell and its button lights up; every other button goes grey for two seconds. Press Next question to clear it. On a keyboard, keys 1 to 8 are the teams’ buzzers.

How to play with the buzzer

• One device, on a table or on a laptop plugged into a TV. Each team keeps a hand near its own button, or its own key from 1 to 8.
• The host reads a question from anywhere: a book, a card game, the class’s own quiz, or one of Peabody’s ready rounds.
• The first press wins the bell. A team that buzzed once waits for the next question, so the fastest finger cannot buzz again and again.
• Keep the score on the scoreboard, or play a Peabody round on the round maker and press 📺 Big screen: the buzzers are built in.
• Teams are animals (Foxes, Bears, Owls, Frogs, Otters, Pandas, Tigers and Penguins), so nobody types a name. The teams you pick stay on this device, and nothing is sent anywhere.
