Question templates
Sixteen questions for the party: who knows the birthday person best, who guesses the number of candles, which memory is true. Put the QR code on the cake table and everyone plays from their phone.
Make your birthday quizPoll, quiz, word cloud, rating or Q&A. Or let the AI draft them.
On screen or in your slides. People scan it and they are in.
Results update live on the big screen, then export them.
A birthday quiz works when every question is about one person. Swap the examples for real stories: the first job, the worst haircut, the song they sing in the car. The guests who know them best win, and the stories get told again.
Five questions make a good round of about ten minutes. The free plan allows five questions per presentation, so keep one presentation for the quiz and another for the wishes. The answers appear on the screen when you choose, so the birthday person can react to each one.
Guests scan the code or type hopvote.com and the 5-character code. No app and no account, in the language of each phone, which helps when grandparents, cousins and friends all play together. Join from home with the short link if you cannot come.
