Hello!!! Nice to meet the community. Is there a roadmap for buzz-in functionality? Our attendees have used buzzers on other programs in the past, and love to use it as a “fastest wins” and as an opportunity in smaller groups to yell out their answers. Would appreciate any insight, thanks!

Hi @tom1, thanks for posting!

At this time, _Crowdpurr Trivia_ doesn’t currently have a “buzz-in” feature that allows a single player to answer a question based on which player or team has buzzed in first; however, I’m happy to provide a workaround you may be interested in if you’d like to assign bonus points for players/teams who have yelled out answers as correct.

For instance, you can assign players with bonus points such as points earned from the “shout-out” quuestion (e.g. bonus activities, “shout out” questions, etc.). You would simply have to manually _edit the player’s rankings_ in order to award them with bonus points.

Please visit the following Help Center article for more information on how to edit player rankings:

[Editing Player Rankings](https://help.crowdpurr.com/en/articles/10524944-editing-player-rankings)

Implementing a “buzzer” feature would definitely be an interesting ability to add on the platform, so we’ll be sure to relay this feature suggestion over to our Development Team.

A good idea, I asume they would have a button on their device?

Exactly! You could enable the buzzer via a hot-key, or it goes “live” after a set amount of time (time enough to read the question)

You could see your placement on the screen when you click the button, and there could be a spot on the back dashboard where you can see the order of buzz-ins. I can see the difficulty of assigning point values as per Jemma’s response, but it would be real fun!
