Scoring

How the result works

A quick opening pool on the first score of the watch-party game, with a rollover if nobody lands it. Correct score type but wrong team pays a small posted consolation share instead of a full rollover. Format: Watch-party pool.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Letting hints or late answers change the score result. Set the prompt and answer rule first.

Safety: Keep prompts appropriate, allow passes, avoid sensitive personal details, and control movement around the group.
