Game Show Studio [iPad]

Game Show Studio gives you everything you need to host your own trivia game show in your home, classroom, or workplace. You will be able to put on a stunning and interactive show, including sound effects, graphics that can be displayed on a television, and easy-to-use wireless buzzers so that players can buzz in using their iOS devices.

Connecting Devices and Buzzing In
Game Show Studio connects iPhone and iPad devices using Bluetooth. When a player joins a game, their screen becomes a button which can be tapped to buzz in, sending a wireless signal to the host’s device, which will play a sound and indicate which player buzzed in first. Do you have more players than iOS devices? No problem! Up to four players can use the same device to buzz in. In this case, the screen will be divided into sections so that each player on the device can buzz in by tapping their region of the screen.

Graphics, Sound Effects, and Music
All good game shows have exciting graphics, music, and sound effects. Thanks to this app, the game show that you host will be no different! As the host in the app, you will be able to play music and sound effects, specifically created for use in a game show. All of this enables you to give the players of your game an exciting and immersive experience!

Some sound effects play automatically throughout the game so that you, the host, can concentrate on keeping up a fast-paced game. Whenever a player buzzes in, for instance, a sound is played, providing immediate feedback to the host and the players.

If you connect the host’s device to an external display (like an Apple TV), you can show game information to all the players in the room. The display includes the names of all players of each team, the score of each team, and the customizable timer that counts down when a player buzzes in. This also makes it easy for everyone in the room to see who buzzed in first. While this adds even more to the complete “Studio” effect, an external display is not required; all of this information is also displayed on the host's device.

Gameplay
You can customize gameplay in many different ways. Teams can be arranged in a variety of ways, to allow many different styles of play.

Other customizable features include:
- Number of points awarded for correct answers,
- Number of points taken away for incorrect answers (zero is an option),
- Amount of time a player has to answer a question after buzzing in, and
- The color of each team (represented both on the host’s device and on an optional external display).
