Plan the group before the questions
Settle how people will join, then write for the group you actually have.
Count the players
Decide whether each person plays alone or each household shares one phone. Sharing works well for young children and keeps the count manageable.
Check the size
Compare the number of phones joining with your plan’s player allowance on the pricing page.
Pick writers from each branch
Ask one or two people from each part of the family for a couple of questions, so no single generation sets the whole quiz.
Set up the shared screen
Put the display on a TV so the room shares one view and phones are only for answering.
Questions that work across ages
Aim for questions where different relatives have different advantages.
- Family history a grandparent knows and grandchildren can guess at.
- Recent films, games or music that the younger players know best.
- Photos from shared holidays, with permission from the people in them.
- A poll such as “Who is the best cook here?” for a laugh without a score.
Keep a big room together
Large groups lose focus between questions. Read each question aloud, keep timers short and plan a proper break halfway for food and conversation.
Playloop scores individual players rather than teams. If your family wants teams, have each household or table join as one player with a shared name, and let them agree an answer together.
