What's New

Hosts now control exactly when bingo cards are dealt. Players who join after the game starts get cards dealt automatically the moment the host hits Generate. Card state persists across phone refreshes - if a player loses signal and reconnects, they pick up exactly where they left off.

Players choose how to play - auto-mark songs as the host ticks them, or mark themselves for that classic bingo feel. Hosts get show/hide controls for the song board and live player list, and a smoother winner reveal.

Player names now show with their photos across every game view - waiting screens, audience displays, scoreboards. When someone closes their tab, the player count updates instantly so hosts always know exactly who's in the room.

Numerical questions now show a dedicated number pad on phones - no more fumbling with the keyboard. Fixed a scoring edge case where some answers double-counted, and the mini-game break now properly restores the quiz state when you return.

All player pages now use live WebSocket connections for instant updates. Bingo balls, quiz questions, and game events arrive on player phones in under 100ms - previously updates took 3-5 seconds. Claims and answers are also sent back to the host instantly.

Heads or Tails, Higher or Lower, Quick Quiz, and Last Standing now fully work cross-device for the first time. Players on their own phones can join and play mini-games during intervals - not just on the host's device.

Player phones now show a connection quality dot - green glow for instant real-time connection, amber for polling fallback. Helps venues quickly identify WiFi issues.

Player pages now poll the server every 60 seconds as a fallback instead of every 3-5 seconds as the primary path. Server heartbeats are skipped when real-time connections are active. Massively reduces function invocations per game session.

The "YOU'RE IN!" waiting screen now shows player count updating instantly as other players join, creating excitement and social proof before the game even starts.

When players join, their name animates onto the TV/audience screen in real-time. Sliding badges appear as phones connect, creating excitement before the game starts.

During quiz questions, the audience screen shows "3 of 8 teams answered..." ticking up in real-time. Flashes "ALL IN!" when everyone has answered. Builds tension for the whole room.

The audience screen shows an animated HEADS/TAILS split bar updating in real-time as players lock in their choices. The bar shifts as votes come in, building tension before every flip.

When a bingo or music bingo claim is submitted, the audience screen shows a dramatic "CLAIM INCOMING!" animation with build-up before revealing the claimant's name.

Answer within 3 seconds and get a "FIRST!" badge showing your reaction time. Creates a competitive speed element on top of the knowledge challenge.

Players can now tap emoji reactions from their phones and they appear live on the big screen and audience view. Applause, laughter, fire, love, surprise, and celebration - powered by Supabase Realtime for instant cross-device sync.

Hosts can now run multiple bingo rounds (1 LINE, 2 LINES, FULL HOUSE) with a seamless Next Round button. Points carry across rounds so players track their cumulative score throughout the night.

Generate custom quizzes on any topic in seconds, directly from your phone. Type a topic into the AI generator and get perfectly crafted questions instantly - no laptop needed.

Every game now ends with a polished "Thanks for playing" screen featuring social media links. Players follow the venue and share their experience - free marketing every game night.

Quiz results now display a comprehensive breakdown of every question - including the ones players missed or didn't answer. Everyone leaves knowing the answers and wanting to come back next week.

Consistent bottom navigation and headers across all mobile host games. Unified player join experience with name entry and "YOU'RE IN!" waiting screen across every game.
