Buzzer — First to Tap Wins the Question
Tap your colour. First finger down wins.
The screen splits into coloured zones, one per player. The first finger down wins and every other zone locks immediately — which is the part a shout across the table cannot settle, because two people always think they were first.
How to set it up
Phone flat in the middle, one zone per player, everybody's finger hovering. Pick a zone count that matches the group: two zones give each player half the screen, six give a strip each, and past six the strips get too narrow to hit without looking.
The lockout is exact
The winning tap is registered the instant a finger touches the glass, not after the browser has waited to see whether the touch was going to become a swipe or a double tap. That wait is a quarter of a second, which is a long time in a race that is usually decided by less.
