How Many? — it's not a quiz, it's about people
How Many? looks like a quiz, but it isn't one. Getting the answer right earns you nothing. Points come from one thing only: guessing how many people here got it right.
That means the know-it-all doesn't automatically win. What matters is how well you read the people around you — who probably knows this, who's going to fumble it, who tapped a random option as a joke, and whether this "easy" question is actually harder than it looks. Everyone starts on a level field no matter how much trivia they know, and the biggest laughs come when "obviously everyone knows this" turns out to be wrong.
What you need: phones and people
- No app and no account. The host shows a QR code or a four-letter room code; everyone else scans it with their phone camera and types a name.
- Play with 2 to 300 people in one room. Four friends around a table and a hundred people in a hall use exactly the same rules.
- Got a TV or projector? Open the big screen to show questions and results in big type. Streamers can broadcast it as is.
- Available in Korean and English. In the same room, each player can see the screens in their own language.
How a round works
- Question — the same question pops up on every phone, e.g. "How many hearts does an octopus have?"
- Answer — everyone picks or types an answer before the timer runs out. You can't see what others chose, only how many have answered.
- Guess — now the answer is revealed, and the real question appears: "How many people got that right?" Pick a number from zero up to the number of people who answered.
- Result — the real count ticks up from zero. You see who got it, which wrong answers people gave, and who guessed closest. The closer your guess, the more points you get.
The host moves on to the next question, and after the last round the totals decide the final ranking.
Scoring
Points only come from guesses. You can get the question wrong and still finish first.
- Bigger rooms: everyone who guessed is lined up by how far off they were. First place gets 100 points, and it drops from there.
- Small rooms (8 or fewer answering): points depend on how close you were, not your rank. An exact guess is 100, and each person you're off by costs a bit. With three players, being off by one won't wreck your game.
- Exact guesses earn +50. In rooms with hundreds of players, guesses within 1% of the room count as exact.
- If final scores tie, the player whose guesses were off by less over the whole game ranks higher.
- The host can make the first question an unscored practice round, or double the points on the last round.
