Free test version
A game show on your couch.
BlobIQ is a party quiz game for 2-10 players. The TV is the studio, phones are the controllers, and you are small, jelly-like blobs who really want to win.
Open the game on a TV, or on a laptop connected to a TV. Phones join with a code. No installation, no account. Note: the game itself (questions, host, interface) is currently in Polish only.
How it works
From switching on to the first question in under a minute
The TV shows the stage, phones are for answering. Nothing to install and no account to create.
-
Start it on the TV
Open play.blobiq.com in the browser of your TV, or of a laptop connected to a TV, and choose New game. A QR code and a room code appear on the screen.
-
Join with your phone
Scan the QR code or type the six-character code. Enter a name and shape your blob: colour, shape and eyes. No account needed.
-
Play!
Questions appear on the TV, you tap answers on your phones. The host comments, blobs jump with joy or scratch their heads, and someone will surely start shouting at the TV.
Rounds and modes
Rounds you cannot be bored in
The game starts with the Warm-up and ends with the Road to the Centre. In between are rounds with different characters: sometimes reflexes matter, sometimes courage, sometimes a cool head.
-
Start
Warm-up
A practice question, five questions and no negative points. Perfect for getting the feel of the controller in your hand.
-
Reflex
Lightning
Eight seconds per question, and the fastest wins. A mistake freezes your blob, so be quick, but think.
-
Courage
How Much Do You Bet?
You only know the category, and you bet from 50 to 250 points. A right answer: the stake is yours. A wrong one: the stake is gone.
-
Cool head
Three Balloons
Every blob has three balloons, and a wrong answer pops one. With no balloons left you go to the bench, but you keep playing, so nobody sits idle.
-
Finale
Road to the Centre
A 20-square track to the trophy. Earlier points give you a head start, and Step or Leap decides whether you chase carefully or risk everything.
-
In the works
More rounds
We are working on, among others, Prank (mischievous obstacles for rivals) and Safety Net (a sure thing or two answers at once?).
Who it is for
For nights with friends, birthdays and the family couch
BlobIQ plays best with 4-6 people, but works from two to ten. All you need is a TV, phones and a bit of ambition.
-
2-10 players
Every player gets their own blob and their own phone. Rounds adapt to the number of players.
-
One TV
A TV with a browser, or a laptop connected to a TV. Everything else happens on the players' phones.
-
No installation
The game runs in the browser. No account and no app download: a room code and a name are enough.
-
In Polish
The questions, captions and the host are in Polish. The first version is aimed at adult players. An English version will come together with an English game.
The host
A host who talks to you (in Polish)
In the middle of the Arena stands the host. They welcome the players, announce the rounds and comment on the boldest bets and the most spectacular mistakes.
Sample lines from the game (translated; the game speaks Polish):
Good evening! Welcome to BlobIQ, the game show where the couch is the studio and your phone is the remote to fame!
Wave, so everyone knows which blob is theirs!
Lightning round! Eight seconds per question, and the fastest wins. A mistake freezes your blob, so be quick, but think!

Questions and answers
Before you gather the crew
Is BlobIQ free?
Right now yes: it is a free test version. The rules of any future charges are not set yet. When that changes, we will say so here, clearly and in advance.
What do I need to play?
A TV with a web browser, or a laptop connected to a TV, and a phone for each player. All devices need internet access.
Do I need to install an app or create an account?
No. The game runs in the browser, and to join you only need a room code and a name. Phone and TV apps are planned, but do not exist yet.
In what language is the game?
Currently in Polish only: the questions, the captions and the host. The English site is a guide for now. An English game is not announced yet.
How many people can play and how long does it take?
From two to ten people, and it plays best with 4-6. A full game takes about half an hour, depending on the number of rounds.
Does internet lag ruin the score?
It should not. We measure the answer time on the player's phone, from the moment the question appears on their screen, and the server rejects impossible times.
What if someone's phone dies or they leave the game?
Their blob falls asleep in its place and waits. After they come back, the same phone returns to the game with the same score.
Who is the host's voice?
The host's voice is computer-generated from scripts we wrote. The lines are pre-recorded, so they sound the same on every TV.
Can children play?
The first version is aimed at people aged 16 and over. Profiles for children, teens and whole families are planned.
What data do you collect?
To play you need a name (a nickname is fine) and a room code. If you sign up for the beta, we also store your e-mail address. The website uses no cookies. Details in the privacy policy.
Ready for the first round?
The test version is open. Start it on your TV, gather the crew and tell us how it went.
