TastyQuiz

A calm guide for a lively night

Group roles, the phone controller, and the TV dashboard on a big screen — all in one place.

How the roles fit together

The group holds the catalog. An admin sets up the event. Tasters score. Service sets the pace.

  1. Group

    Home for your community — sample catalog, taster list, and event history. A public group can accept join requests.

  2. Admin

    Creates and edits the group, approves members, creates events, and attaches samples and tasters. Gets controller and TV links.

  3. Sample

    An item in the group catalog (beer, wine, coffee…). At the event it is issued under a secret number — the name appears only on reveal.

  4. Taster

    A group member with a nickname. At the event they score taste, tip identity, and wait for a shared reveal. They can also be service.

Sync event flow

Everyone tastes the same sample at the same moment.

  1. Service issues a sample with a secret number
  2. Tasters score and tip
  3. When everyone is done, reveal and mid-results
  4. Next round — or the final leaderboard

Controller — run it from your phone

A mobile screen for service and tasters. Open it in a new tab and keep it handy all night.

How to open it

  1. Open the event detail in your group.
  2. In the manage panel tap “Controller (mobile)” (or “Controller” in the mobile menu for the active event).
  3. The URL looks like /control/ID — you must be signed in and attached to the event.

Service role

Pick the next attached sample and tap Issue. That starts the round — the number shows on the TV and in every taster controller.

Taster role

Move the score, pick a tip (what it is), optionally add a comment, and submit. Then wait until other active tasters finish.

TV dashboard on a big screen

A fullscreen page for the lounge, bar, or living room — numbers, progress, and reveals for everyone at once.

How to launch it

  1. In the event manage panel open “TV screen” — ideally in a new window or on a second device.
  2. URL /tv/ID. You don’t click around on it — leave it running and drive the night from the controller.
  3. On the TV enter fullscreen (F11 / browser fullscreen on a smart TV).

Tips for a big screen

  • Most reliable: laptop over HDMI to the TV, browser in fullscreen.
  • Chromecast / AirPlay: cast the TV dashboard tab, not the controller.
  • Smart TV browser: enter the URL manually; disable screen sleep.
  • Same Wi‑Fi as the phones — live sync is online, but a stable network helps.
  • TV dark mode + lower brightness = less eye strain and nicer dashboard contrast.
