How it works

How Karanite works

One host, two teams, everyone on their own screen. Karanite asks, times, scores and reveals — so the host gets to play too.

A night in three steps

  1. Create a room

    Pick a game mode and build your board from one to six Domains.

  2. Friends join

    They open karanite.com and enter your code, or scan the QR. No app, no account.

  3. Play

    Teams take turns picking tiles, answer on their own screens, lock in and watch the reveal.

A round, beat by beat

  1. SpotlightThe picked tile takes the stage: its topic, its points and whose pick it is.
  2. The questionEveryone sees the question on their own screen, and the clock starts.
  3. Answers locked!Each team locks one answer. No take-backs.
  4. The revealThe right answer, which teams had it, and the points land on the scoreboard.
  5. Back to the boardThe next team picks. Most points when the board is clear wins.

Teams

  • Team A ◆ and Team B ▲ — every team has a colour and a shape, so you can tell them apart at a glance.
  • Teammates suggest. The leader locks the answer.
  • A Pro host can rename the teams.
  • The big screen never shows a team's pick before the reveal.

Show it on a TV or stream

Tap Cast in your room. The big screen gets its own copy of the game, so your controls stay on your device.

  1. On a TV

    Open karanite.com/tv in the TV's web browser, then type the code it shows into Cast on your phone.

  2. Without a TV browser

    Scan the QR in Cast with a spare phone or laptop, then mirror that device to the TV or plug it in.

  3. On a stream

    Copy the link in Cast into OBS, or share its window. The room code is hidden so viewers can't jump in.

Hosting on a big screen

Put the host screen on a TV or a projector; everyone answers on their phone.

Every room holds 8 players, 4 on each team. A Free room lets 5 more watch; a Pro room lets anyone watch.
