Turn any room into a game show.
Create the questions. Run the room. Let every phone become a buzzer—without asking guests to download an app.
How it works
From blank screen to
big energy in minutes.
One host computer runs the show. Everyone else joins from a browser on the same network.
Build your game
Write questions, import a deck, add pictures, sounds, timers, text breaks, and leaderboards.
Players join
Guests scan the room QR code or enter the local address. No app and no player account required.
Run the room
Start timers, review answers, award points, reveal results, and keep the room moving.

Which planet has the shortest day?
BEAM
Local-first by design
The internet can leave.
The game keeps going.
Once the host computer is trusted, BuzzerBeam can run your live game over the router’s local network. Players connect directly to the host—ideal for venues with crowded, slow, or unreliable internet.

Good to know
Questions before
the first question?
Do players need to install anything?+
No. Players use the browser already on their phone. They join from the local address or QR code shown on the audience display.
Does it really work without internet?+
The live game runs over your local Wi-Fi. A host signs in online first; a trusted host device can then keep hosting during the trusted period even if the internet connection drops.
What hardware do I need?+
A Mac or computer to host, a regular Wi-Fi router, and player phones. A TV or projector makes the shared audience display even better.
Can I import my existing trivia questions?+
Yes. Import CSV or JSON files, then edit, reorder, add pictures, and combine questions into saved decks.
How are host accounts and payments protected?+
Host email/password authentication uses Supabase. Paid plans use Stripe Checkout, signed Stripe webhooks, and server-side subscription syncing; payment secrets are never placed in browser code.
