The pitch
Realtime is the feature
Write the worst answer you can defend, watch every cursor pile onto it, then let the room decide who gets temporary custody of the scoreboard. Big Black Cards turns the usual waiting around a card game into the loud part.
Screenshot theatre
One large view. No postage stamps.
The viewer keeps captions and controls attached to the selected image, with a filmstrip for quick scanning and keyboard navigation.
01 / 07
01 / Everybody is visible
Realtime is not plumbing. It is the joke.
Named cursors, reactions, chat, and presence turn dead time into heckling time. You can see who is hovering over the same awful answer and exactly who started the pile-on.
- Named live cursors across the room
- Reactions land directly on the play
- Spectator energy without a separate mode
02 / One room, many screens
The television performs. Phones keep secrets.
The big screen owns the room code, prompts, judging, and payoff. Phones become private hands. The same session can also run entirely in browsers when the sofa is inconveniently distributed across a continent.
- TV-first stage with title-safe layouts
- Private phone controllers
- Desktop and remote play from the same room model
03 / Built for the bit
The host keeps the silence from winning.
A timed voice and animation layer reads the room, fills gaps, and gives every phase a beginning and an ending. It feels closer to a small game show than a shared form with cards in it.
- Pre-baked and generated host lines
- Phase-aware pacing and audio ownership
- Reduced-motion and silent fallbacks
