Group games for 2 to 30 players

Your group's phones become the game.
You run the room.

Make a game in about two minutes, put the join code on the projector, and every phone in the room becomes a game piece. Everyone answers privately, and nothing reveals until the players are in. Built for trainers, teachers, youth leaders, and event hosts.

A group game showing several answers revealed together

One code runs the whole room.

Who is playing, the steps inside, and when it fires. Answers stay private until the room is in.

Run it again

Reveal together, debrief, then start a fresh game for the next session.

The problem

Engagement tools were not built for the room you run.

Printable icebreaker lists, one-screen trivia, and app-download games all fight the same physics: one person performs, thirty people watch.

Lists get read at peopleA question list makes you the entertainment. The room answers out loud, and only the loud half answers.
One screen, thirty spectatorsTrivia on a single screen means one reader and a room of passengers waiting for their turn that never comes.
App installs kill the first five minutesAny game that starts with "everyone download the app" loses the room before round one.
Big groups hideIn a room of 20, the quiet ones opt out. Private answers on their own phone bring them back in.
How it works

Code on the projector. Game in their hands.

  • Pick a game: Start an icebreaker, a photo scavenger hunt, or a quiz, or describe your group and get a fresh one.
  • Set your players: Pick the number actually in the room, from 2 to 30, including you. The reveal waits for that many people, so count the room, not the invite list.
  • Share one code: Put the QR on the projector or drop the link in chat. Players open it in their browser and install nothing.
  • Everyone plays: Each player answers privately on their own phone. Cameras and GPS can be the game pieces.
  • Nobody peeks: Answers stay hidden until the players are in. You can skip the wait and reveal what is in whenever the room is ready.
  • It reveals together: All the answers land at once, on every phone, for the debrief and the laugh.

The games

Three games that work in any room.

For trainings, classrooms, retreats, camps, and events. Pick your player count on each game and share the code.

Icebreaker rounds

Getting-to-know-you questions the whole room answers privately, then reveals together. The quiet ones finally get a turn, and you get a real conversation starter. A taste: Which are you: planner or improviser? Coffee or tea? Early bird or night owl?

Photo scavenger hunt

Missions go out, cameras come up. Everyone captures their find on their own phone, and the photos stay hidden until the reveal drops them all at once. A taste: Snap something older than you. Find something blue. Photograph a hidden corner of the room.

Quiz and review games

A quiz round for your topic, your lesson, or your team's inside jokes. Every phone answers, then the answer reveals to the whole room at once. A taste: What is the largest planet in our solar system? Which ocean is the largest?

FAQ

Common questions

Is it free?

Yes. Playing is free and the people you invite never need an account. You can try a sample round with no sign-up, and starting a real game to share takes a free account.

Do my players need to install an app or make an account?

Players do not. They join with a link or code and play in their browser, with no app and no account. The facilitator signs up for a free account to start a game.

How many people can play?

From 2 to 30 players. You set the number when you start a game, and it includes you.

Can we play over text or a group chat?

Yes. Share the one link or code in your group chat or by text, and each person opens it and plays on their own phone.

Can a remote or hybrid team play together?

Yes. Players can be anywhere. The game waits until everyone is in, then all the answers reveal together at once.

Can I use it in a classroom or with a youth group?

Yes. The prompts are work-safe and classroom-safe, and everyone plays on the phone they already have.

Can everyone see the answers?

Not until everyone is in. Each answer stays private until every player has joined, then they all reveal together.

How do I run the same game with my next group?

Once your group has played it through, you can save it to your free Cronote account and run it again with any group.

Get your room playing in one tap.
