Quick Start

Moderator Quick Start

1. Choose Registered user and sign in.
2. In Design, create a game or open an account-owned definition.
3. Complete the relevant Design tabs, resolve Validation errors, and save.
4. Open Execution and choose a room, usually main.
5. Add the game to the room or one of its game sets.
6. Start the game with the play icon beside its name.
7. Copy and share the room link or its reserved /r/... shortcut.
8. Watch Active Sessions and open Moderator view when a read-only session view is useful.
9. Review or export the run from Run Logs.

The saved definition is validated when it is started. A run that is already open keeps the definition snapshot with which it began.

Design Quick Start

1. Use the first Definitions toolbar row for New Game, Open Game, Save As, and Save changes.
2. Use the second row to manage catalog folders, upload definitions, add the selected game to rooms, rename it, move it, or delete it.
3. Define participants in Assignment.
4. Build the mechanism in Layout and use Gameplay or Data model for detailed behavior.
5. Add presentation Pages and set their Audience where needed.
6. Check Validation and save.

Predefined games under Demo are read-only in Design. They remain available through Add games in Rooms.

Player Quick Start

1. Open the room link supplied by the moderator.
2. Enter a player name and, when used, the same PIN for later reconnection.
3. Choose an open game and click Join.
4. Play in the newly opened tab.

Fixed-player games wait until enough participants have joined. The game page appears only when the session can start.

Demo Quick Start

1. Open Demo from the home page.
2. Choose a reference game and start it.
3. Select player cards or use Switch Active Player to inspect different views.
4. Use Auto demo for an automatic demonstration.

Demo is an observer workflow in one tab. Use Open test client from Rooms for realistic multi-player testing.

Before A Live Session

1. Save and validate the exact game that will be used.
2. Start it in a test room.
3. Open enough test clients to exercise one normal path.
4. Confirm Active Sessions, Moderator view, and the resulting Run Log.
5. Stop the test run and prepare the live room.
