This or That: Pancakes or Waffles? Marketing or IT? Mayo or Ketchup? Poll your participants on what their favorite is (yes, some people dip their fries in Mayo) and get results after completing the activity.

04/03/2025 - Improved Live Trivia Experience

Live Trivia had some delay and display issues on Auto-Play mode. We have fixed the issues ensuring a smoother experience for Event Admins and Players.

- Live Trivia screens are now synced. Difference in screen transition on all devices and displays reduced to 0.3 seconds

- Fixed an issue where the leaderboard display would show the results and players would still see the question on their devices

- Outlook was blocking some of the buttons on our user management emails, like the emails admins get when they are added to an event. We've added clickable links where the issues were found.
