How Big Red Button plays
On their phones
Scan the QR, pick a table and press the red button on the phone. Tables press together to fill the meter.
On the host console
Stages the surprise in advance, such as an announcement, a confetti drop or the dessert bar opening, and approves it with AV before it can fire.
On the big screen
A meter that fills with every press, the glass lifting at 90 %, and the press that crosses 100 % firing the surprise and crediting that table out loud.
How it ends: The table that pushes it over fires the surprise. The surprise stays sealed until the press. You can run it up to three times a night.
The full description from the games team
A stage moment for the night’s big surprise. Guests scan a QR, pick their table and press one red button together; presses fill a meter on the big screen, the glass lifts at 90 % and the press that crosses 100 % fires the surprise the host staged in advance (confetti, an announcement, a cue for the AV desk), crediting that table out loud. The surprise stays sealed until the press, and cannot fire until the host has approved it with AV.

The story in the demo
Raj & Simran’s sangeet. Pops stands by the button with his finger hovering and says jeete raho; Robbie has the surprise loaded and will not say what it is.
Raj, Simran, Bauji and the rest are an illustrated sample cast, not real people. At your event the same game carries your own names and photos.
