PRIVATE HOST KEY: keep answers off the player screen.

Original independent practice resource. Not official television questions. All values are virtual.
TXT planning aid: enter questions manually; this is not a game import.

Print the player sheet in a text editor at 18-22 point with generous line spacing, or use the supplied large-print HTML sheet. Let players choose the format; age does not imply a particular ability.
Use mixed-generation teams, read each choice aloud and offer flexible thinking time. Keep a spoken response route available instead of requiring a small-screen tap. This is social trivia, not a cognitive test.
Sign in, open the named starter in the template library and choose Use Template, or start a manual game at /create.
Use Game details, Categories, Add questions, Customize and Review & launch. Put two regular questions in each of five categories; keep the Final Challenge separate.
Copy each prompt, all four choices, correct answer and explanation manually. These sheets are planning aids, not imports or slide decks.
Preview before hosting. Keep the host key private and share only the player screen or player sheet. Free manual games allow two teams and three participant devices; a free account keeps three browser drafts.
