How to play Quiz Night with Gather
In Quiz Night, the question and answers are on the TV and your phone is just the buzzer with four big buttons. It works solo and with up to ten people – with an Apple TV, iPad or Mac as the table screen.
Open a room and join
On the table screen, choose “Quiz Night”, “With your phones” and “Open a room”. Everyone joins, taps “Ready”, and you start with “Start game”.
Set up the quiz
On the TV you pick the categories – such as “General Knowledge”, “Geography” or “Film & Music” –, the length (10, 15 or 20 questions) and the language with “Questions in German”. The phones just show what’s been set.
Start the quiz
“Start quiz” is on the table screen and on every phone. From then on, each question has a 20-second timer.
Read, then tap
The TV shows the question and four answers, each with a color and a symbol: star, moon, hexagon, drop. Your phone only shows those four colored symbol buttons – tap the one that matches the answer on the TV.
Lock in your answer
One tap is enough and your answer is locked: “Answer locked in – waiting for the others”. You can’t change it, and fast correct answers score the most.
The reveal
Your phone says “Correct!”, “Not quite” or “Too late”, with your place and streak. The TV shows the right answer, how many picked each option and the leaderboard. “Next question” on the table screen moves on, or it continues after a few seconds.
Winners and rematch
After the last question, “Show winners” takes you to the results. “Play again” starts a new quiz, and Gather tries to use different questions from last time.
TV and phone
Because the phones only show symbols, you need the TV the whole time. If it drops out, the phone says “The TV is not connected – the questions only appear there.” – reconnect the table screen first.
Next to the question, the TV keeps the leaderboard visible, including “… of … have answered”. That way you can see who you’re waiting for without anyone giving away their pick.
