How a Brainpardy game runs
Five steps. Most of the work happens before doors open.
01
Pick five categories
Generic ("Music," "Geography") or hyper-specific ("Things our CFO has said in standup"). The board takes both.
02
Load 25 clues
Pull them from the question bank, back a column with a Cellar pack, or have the brains at Brainflood build a category from a one-line brief. Pick how many Daily Doubles to hide.
03
Players pick cells, you grade
Teams buzz in on their phones and the first buzz types an answer. You grade it, or let Auto Assist suggest a verdict you confirm. A miss opens a steal. Score updates on the projector. The classic rhythm, with the math handled.
04
Daily Double drama
Hidden cells reveal a wager prompt. Only the team that picked it answers, and it can bet up to its score (or the board's top value, if that is bigger). The right wager turns a fourth-place team into a contender.
05
Final Brainpardy
One question, one wager. Teams bet up to their full score, then see the clue and type their answer. The quiet moment while every table types is the best moment of the night, every time.
