What is HamBuzzer?

HamBuzzer is a free online buzzer for hosting quizzes, blind tests, parties and group activities. No signup, no install required: you create a game, share a 6-character code, and everyone can buzz from their phone. Available in French, English, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese.

What can you use it for?

Quizzes & blind tests

Run your own homemade Jeopardy or music blind test with your friends.

Parties & game nights

The good old party buzzer, without buying gear that gathers dust in a drawer.

Classroom & activities

Perfect at school or summer camp to get everyone involved without shouting over each other.

Team building

Break the ice in meetings or off-sites, remote or in person.

Several ways to play

Pick the format that fits your audience — from pure buzzer to auto-graded MCQ.

Buzzer · Live

Race to the buzzer, in person. The fastest player gets to answer out loud. The host arbitrates.

Buzzer · Written

Same buzzer race, but the player types their answer — handy for remote play or when spelling matters.

Quizz · Written

Everyone types their answer. No buzzer race: sending counts as the buzz, host reviews the list ranked by submission order.

Quizz · MCQ

Multiple choice question. Auto-graded on the correct answer, with a medal for the fastest correct picker.

Prep your question pack

Type your questions ahead of time — plain text or MCQ with choices. One click to launch the next one during the game. No more awkward silences.
