Problem-solving meetings
Agree on the problem with a word cloud before anyone suggests a fix.
Question templates
Sixteen questions to run a brainstorm from start to finish: frame the problem with a word cloud, collect ideas as open answers, then sort them with a ranking or 100 points. Everyone answers from their phone at the same time.

Each one shows the Hopvote question type that fits it best. Free plan: 5 questions per presentation, so use one for the ideas and a second one for the vote.
In one word, what slows our team down the most?
Frame. The biggest words show where to look for ideas.
How many hours a week do you lose to this problem?
Frame. No right answer: the screen shows the spread, the average and the median.
Which part of the problem should we tackle today?
Frame. Offer three or four angles, then brainstorm on the winner.
In one word, how should customers feel after this project?
Frame. Sets a shared goal before the ideas start.
How might we cut the time spent on weekly reports by half?
Collect. Phrased as a challenge, it invites solutions. Up to 3 ideas each.
What would you try with an unlimited budget?
Collect. Removes the usual objections. Keep the realistic parts afterward.
How could we make every customer leave?
Collect. Reverse brainstorming: turn each bad idea into a fix.
How would a brand-new startup solve this?
Collect. Change the point of view: a new hire, a customer, a supplier.
A random word: how could it help with our problem?
Collect. Random words spark new links. Entries: airport, recipe, game, library, map, hotel.
Post your best idea, then upvote the ones you like.
Collect and sort at once. The most upvoted ideas rise to the top.
Which of these ideas would you back? Pick all that apply.
Sort. A dot vote on phones that shows the widest support.
Rank the shortlisted ideas from most to least promising.
Sort. Up to 10 ideas, in a second presentation.
Share 100 points between the ideas on the shortlist.
Sort. Shows how strongly people care, not just the order.
Rate each idea for impact, from 1 to 5.
Sort. All ideas rated at once. Repeat for effort to find quick wins.
How confident are you that the winning idea will work?
Decide. Scored from 1 to 5. If the average is low, run a small test first.
Who does what by Friday to test the winning idea?
Decide. Leave with an owner and a date.
Poll, 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.
Agree on the problem with a word cloud before anyone suggests a fix.
Share 100 points between projects and leave with clear priorities.
Share the short link in the call and read ideas as they arrive.
Students post project ideas and upvote the strongest ones.
A brainstorm goes wrong when people judge ideas while others are still sharing them. Keep the steps apart: agree on the problem, collect every idea without comment, then sort them together.
When everyone writes at the same time and no name shows on the big screen, ideas are judged on their content, not on who suggested them. Quiet people add theirs, and nobody waits for the boss to speak first.
Hide duplicates and off-topic answers from your presenter screen as ideas arrive. In a short break, group what is left into five to ten options and build a second presentation with a ranking or a 100-point vote. To sort as you go, use audience Q&A instead: people post ideas and upvote the best.
Up to 3 open answers of up to 200 characters each, or up to 3 words in a word cloud. In audience Q&A, each person posts up to 3 ideas and upvotes the others.
Yes. Show the QR code in the room and share the short link in the meeting chat. Each phone shows the questions in its own language, and open answers and Q&A posts are translated too, which helps international teams.
A ranking gives the order of the ideas. With 100 points, each person shares points between them, so you also see how strongly people care: one clear favorite, or two ideas almost tied.
Yes. The free plan includes every question type, up to 80 participants and 5 questions per presentation. Participants need no app and no account.
