01
Prompt and answer
One prompt, one box, one shot. The countdown runs off the server, so the round opens and closes at the same moment for everyone playing.
Chorus Lines
A fast live conversation game built around surprising consensus.
The host wrote the questions. Participants join through a link, on any device. Each question appears on the screen, and everyone types one short answer before the clock runs out. Identical answers collect into one group automatically, the host merges in the near matches, and the reveal shows where the room landed.
You score the size of the group you landed in. There is no right answer, just the answer the most people reached for. The point is to find out what the group thinks is obvious, and to talk about the people who went somewhere else.
Answer with what you think the group will say.

How a round runs
Four beats, then the next round.
02
Grouping
The host gets a short window with the raw answers: accept a suggested match, drag a stray answer across, or rename a group so it reads the way the room meant it.
03
Reveal
Every group goes up with its size and the exact words behind it, so the big clusters and the lonely answers appear side by side.
04
Score and repeat
Standings update with each reveal and the next round starts on its own. Final results close the session with every round, every answer, and where each person landed.
Sample round
Name a farm animal
Twelve people in the room. Identical answers group themselves, the host merges the near misses, and this is the reveal everyone sees.

Saying the obvious thing pays. The trick is knowing which obvious thing this room will pick.
Scoring
You score the size of your group.
Everyone in a group of four gets four points. Everyone in a group of one gets one point. That is the whole rule. There is nothing to gain by being clever or obscure, which is what keeps people answering honestly instead of playing the scoreboard.
One answer, one reveal
Each round is short, decisive, and built to expose where the group instinctively lines up.
Facilitator tuned
The host can tidy near-matches, rename answer groups, and decide when scores or leaderboards appear.
Clock synced
The Lightning timing model keeps every participant aligned without websockets or frantic refreshes.
