FAQ & Tips

Expand a section for common player questions and edge cases.

Getting started

  • How do I join? Register with a username, password, and display name. Then log in with the same credentials.
  • What is the admin key? If your host shares the admin key, enter it during registration to unlock admin controls.
  • Why do I need a display name? Suggestions and votes show who submitted them. You need a display name before you can add games or scores.

Suggest phase

  • How many games can I add? Up to 5 suggestions per player in Suggest.
  • Can I edit or delete suggestions later? Game names lock after leaving Suggest. Optional fields stay editable; admins can edit or delete any time.
  • Any rules for links and images? Use http(s) links. Screenshots must end with an image file (png, jpg, gif, webp, avif). Invalid links are rejected.
  • Why was my suggestion rejected? You can only add games in Suggest or with a joker in Vote. Provide a display name, stay within the 5 + joker limit, use http(s) links to reachable media, and keep player counts between 1 and 32 with min ≤ max.

Vote phase

  • How do votes work? Move the 010 slider for each game. Scores save instantly; you can adjust until you finalize.
  • What does finalize do? Finalize locks your votes while you're in Vote. You must score every game first. Toggle it off in the same phase to make changes.
  • Why can't I vote? Voting only works in the Vote phase when you're logged in and have a display name. If you skipped the display name, re-register; admins cannot add one for you.
  • I finalized but thought of a great game. Can I still add it? Ask an admin for a joker during Vote. It gives you one extra slot, consumes the joker, and unfinalizes everyone so the new game can be scored.
  • What are linked games? Admins can link duplicates during Vote. Linked games share scores. Linking or unlinking clears votes for that group and reopens affected players to rescore.
  • A new game appeared after I finalized. What now? New games (from jokers) or link changes remove finalization. Check your list and score every game again before finalizing.
  • What scores are allowed? Scores must be whole numbers from 0 to 10. Anything outside that range is rejected.

Results phase

  • Why can't I see results? Results stay hidden until an admin opens them. You move to Results automatically when unlocked.
  • What do results show? A leaderboard with averages, vote counts, your own score, and any links or media for each game.
  • Can I edit games or votes in Results? No. Suggestions and votes are locked in Results. Changes require moving back to Vote (for example if an admin closes results or resets).
