BluGame games · Rules and features
The host reads the questions and answer options aloud, and each player picks one answer in the app — they can still change it until the round ends. The app only times the round and collects answers; the host sees live who picked what and can pause the clock.
Rules
These are the same rules the app shows players in the game menu.
A quiz for a group: the host reads each question and its possible answers out loud, and every player picks one answer in the app. The app times the round and collects the answers — it is the host who decides what is correct and who scores.
The table host creates the table, reads the questions and runs the game. The other players join over Bluetooth and answer. Players can join at any moment, and the number of players isn't limited.
The host sets one round length for the whole table (15 to 180 seconds, 60 by default). It applies to every question.
Before each question the host sets the number of answers (2 to 8, labelled A–H) — it can be different for every question. They read the question and answers out loud from their own source, then tap Start. Players pick one answer and can change it until the round ends — the last choice counts.
The host sees live who picked what (a letter next to each player), can pause and resume the clock, and can end the round early with "End round". The round also ends by itself when time runs out.
The app knows neither the questions nor the correct answers and keeps no score — it only collects what players picked. The host announces the correct answer and keeps the score (e.g. on paper). The quiz has no "finish" button: the game ends when the host closes the table screen.
Example
Step by step, the way it plays out at the table.
Ala creates a Quiz table and sets 60 seconds per round. Bartek and Celina join over Bluetooth.
Ala sets 3 answers, reads out loud: "Capital of France? A — Berlin, B — Paris, C — Madrid" and taps Start. Bartek picks B, Celina first picks A but a moment later switches to B.
Ala sees on her phone: Bartek — B, Celina — B. After 60 seconds the round ends by itself. Ala announces that B is correct and writes a point for both on a sheet of paper.
Before the next question Ala sets 4 answers and taps Start again. The game goes on until Ala closes the table screen.
In the BluGame app
What happens in the phones and what stays at the table.
The app times the round. The host can pause and resume it, and players can keep picking and changing answers in the meantime.
The host sees who picked what before ending the round.
A player can change their answer as many times as they like until the round ends; the last choice counts.
The app neither stores questions nor judges answers — the host reads questions from their own source, so you can play with any questions you like.
New players can join at any moment, and the number of players is not limited.
Platform
Phones connect directly over Bluetooth — game data never reaches the internet.
You don't create an account or log in — you sit down and play.
Each phone picks up its own language, so at one table everyone plays in theirs.
Quiz with Custom
In the Standard version one table host runs the quiz. Custom is for venues and events: one presenter runs the quiz for many team tables at once, and points are counted automatically.
In the client panel on blugame.eu you open the venue's settings and go to "Edit question bank" in the Quiz Custom section. For every question you type the text and 2 to 8 answers and mark the correct one. Saving overwrites the whole bank, and the questions are copied into the session the moment the presenter creates it.
The presenter opens "Run a Quiz" in the venue-hub app, pastes the venue's identity and taps "Create session". The server itself fetches the venue's question bank. The app shows the session number and a QR code for the tables.
At each table one phone (the table host) opens the Custom Quiz team-table screen in the BluGame app. It creates a local Bluetooth table for the players at that table, then scans the QR code or types in the session number and gives a team name.
The presenter picks the question number, the number of answers and the time, then taps Start. They read the question out loud from their own source — the app shows it to nobody. They can pause and resume the clock.
Every 2 seconds the table host's phone fetches the round state from the server and passes it over Bluetooth to the players at the table. Players pick an answer as in Standard. The table host sees the local tally of votes and chooses and sends one team answer themselves — the app doesn't pick it automatically by majority.
The round ends when time runs out or when the presenter ends it. The server itself awards 1 point to every team whose sent answer matches the correct one in the question bank.
The presenter sees a table of all teams: name, total points and whether the team has already answered in this round. Only the presenter sees the ranking, so they announce it out loud. Then you repeat steps 4 to 6 for the next questions.
A button to end the whole session — individual rounds end.
A ranking visible to players and table hosts — only the presenter sees it.
Playing without internet — the presenter and every team table need a constant internet connection.
Custom
Standard is the full game for everyone. Custom is an option for venues and events — it adds the venue's logo and welcome text and a few extras.
