Game Show Buzzer & Scoreboard
Trivia night lockout button
$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Put one phone in the middle of the table. First tap locks everyone out, and the screen shows who buzzed first and by exactly how much. No more "I was first!".
A game show buzzer for the table. One iPhone becomes the lockout buzzer and the scoreboard for your trivia night: split the screen into 2, 3 or 4 big colour zones, ask your question, and the first tap wins and locks everyone else out to the millisecond.
Honest about who was first:
- It reads each touch's own timestamp, not the screen frame it happened to land on.
- After the first buzz it keeps collecting rival touches for a brief window (adjustable 40–150 ms) before declaring, then shows the real margin: "Ava beat Sam by 0.041s", with third and fourth place listed too.
- Touches closer than 2 milliseconds are called what they are — a tie — with its own split-color screen, so nobody is quietly pretended into first place.
Built for the host:
- A slim control bar on your side of the phone (left or right handed) for re-arm, scoreboard, and host tools — placed on the seam between zones so players can't trip it.
- Judge buttons right on the lockout screen: award the points and re-arm in one tap, dock a point, or open a steal that locks out the player who missed.
- Adjustable points per question, and an optional 10-second answer countdown drawn as a ring around the winner's name — with a tick each second and a steal offer on timeout.
A real scoreboard:
- A clean scoreboard with each player's colour, the round counter, and a crown on the leader.
- Plus/minus steppers for corrections, reset behind a confirmation.
- Optional target score: first player to reach it gets the full-screen crown celebration, then start a new game or keep playing.
Made for game night:
- 2 to 4 players on one phone, names and seat order set up in seconds, seven colour-and-tone combos to claim.
- Four distinct buzz tones (a spread major chord, so even back-to-back buzzes sound good), a lockout thunk, and a countdown tick. Sounds respect your ring/silent switch and mix with your music.
- Strong haptics on the lockout so the winner feels it even with sound off.
Bring your own questions — a trivia deck, a podcast quiz, homework review, or "what did I have for lunch." This is the referee: one-time purchase, no subscription, no ads, no account, works completely offline.
