Every seat, every call and every finish, live in front of you and your referees.

The big screen

Their own Time! button.

Everyone starts at the same moment, with the clock on their phone. They press Time! when they complete the puzzle, and see their rank right after a referee confirms their finish.

You and your referees

Always in control.

Every seat, every referee and every finish, live on your laptop or tablet. Your referees always have the clock on their phone, wherever they are in the room. They see who's calling and approve finishes on the spot.

Questions

What if the venue Wi-Fi is weak?+

No problem. The clock keeps running without a connection, every timestamp is saved, and everything syncs once you're back online. Nothing is ever lost.

Does every participant need a phone?+

No. If a participant has no phone, a referee records their finish.

Do participants need to install anything?+

No. They open the link or scan the QR code, and the app opens in their browser.

What do I need at the venue?+

A laptop or tablet for you, a phone or tablet for each referee, and anything from a tablet to a TV to show the clock and the leaderboard.

Can it handle a big competition?+

Any size. From a club night to a world championship, Time! keeps up with every participant, every referee and every screen in the room.

Which languages?+

English and Spanish for now, with more languages coming.

When can I start?+
