Six ways to
hear the room

A Spark is one live activity you fire at the room — a poll, a rating, a word cloud, an Ask-the-Host, a climate check, or a quiz. It goes live on the big screen, everyone taps along on their phone, and there's no login to join. Sparks are how you wake up a meeting and actually hear what people think.


one session, three screens

Big screen. Every phone. One host driving.

The room watches together on the big screen, everyone taps along on their phone, and one host paces it all from theirs. Same join code, three live surfaces — perfectly in sync.

the six spark types

Pick the right tool for the moment

Every Spark follows the same rhythm — create, start, everyone plays, reveal, close, recap — so once you've run one, you've run them all.

how_to_vote
Decide together

Poll

A single question with predefined options. Members tap a choice and submit; live bars and counts fill in on the big screen. Perfect for quick consensus, decisions, or a fast pulse-check on one topic.

Gauge sentiment

Rating

Rate a subject on a 1–N scale. The big screen shows a running average and a live histogram as votes land. Great for satisfaction, agreement, or “how did that land?” on a continuous scale rather than fixed options.

cloud
Brainstorm

Word Cloud

Everyone submits a word or short phrase; they gather into a center-weighted cloud with a ranked top-N list. The most-said words grow biggest. Ideal for brainstorms, icebreakers, or summing up the room's mood in one glance.

Ask the Host

Members submit questions and upvote each other's. The list auto-reranks by votes — never by name — so the questions the room actually cares about float to the top. Built for town halls, AMAs, and honest, unprompted feedback.

Read the room

Climate

A two-tap emotional read on two axes: Energy (five levels, full → drained) and Weather (sunny → storm). The big screen shows the room's live distribution. The fastest way to gauge capacity before diving into deep work.

quiz
Compete & learn

Quiz

A host-paced, competitive knowledge check. A/B/C/D options, a draining countdown, points that reward speed, and a leaderboard that climbs with confetti at the end. Made for team-building, training checks, and gamified fun.

Quiz is the odd one out — on purpose. To keep a leaderboard meaningful, Quiz is the only Spark that keeps nicknames instead of running fully anonymous, and it can't be added to a Playlist. Every other Spark is anonymous by default and shows aggregate results only.

how to run one

The same five beats, every time

Learn this rhythm once and every Spark type feels familiar.

  1. Create

    Tap “Create Spark”, pick a type, and fill in your question, options, scale or timer. Toggle settings like show-results-live, then Save.

  2. Start

    Tap “Start Spark”. A join code and lobby appear on the big screen; members join by code or link — no account required.

  3. Everyone plays

    Members answer from their phones — tap an option, drag a slider, type a word, or upvote a question. The room fills the screen in real time.

  4. Reveal

    Results build live (or stay hidden until you're ready, if you toggled that on). For Quiz, reveal locks in answers and fires the point animations.

  5. Close & recap

    Close the Spark to freeze the final result — a locked chart, ranked list, or leaderboard everyone can screenshot and take away.


run it again

Re-run, duplicate, and watch it move

A Spark isn't single-use. Two buttons matter here, and they work on every type.

replay

Re-run

Same Spark, same question, fresh room. The previous run is sealed into history first, so nothing is lost, and the Spark reopens empty on a new code. Ask the same thing next sprint and compare.

content_copy

Duplicate

Copy the setup into a brand-new Spark you can tweak before running. The original and its recap are left exactly as they were.

show_chart
Every Spark type can be re-run and duplicated — poll, rating, word cloud, Ask the Host, climate and quiz alike. What varies is only whether a run-over-run trend chart gets drawn on top of that history: that needs comparable numbers, so it renders for Poll, Rating and Climate, and only once two or more runs have closed. A word cloud still keeps its history; there just isn't a sensible line to draw through it.
