1
Open the venue page
The current show, schedule, check-in control, video, and host sheet are in one place.
How DriftTable works
From the screen to the scoreboard.
The prepared show runs the screen. The venue worker keeps the room moving. Players scan in, play as a team, and carry that identity into the scoreboard.
Venue workflow
What the person running the night actually does.
2
Start the prepared show
Cast the venue edition to the TV or projector already in the room.
3
Open player check-in
Display the QR and tell customers one thing: scan it.
4
Keep serving
The video handles the questions and timers while staff keeps normal floor flow moving.
5
Use the host sheet
The protected answer sheet is available to the venue worker running the room.
6
Finish the scores
Phone and paper results land on the same public team scoreboard before the venue cutoff.
Player workflow
The QR is the front door.
Nobody at the table should need a speech about URLs, codes, or account pages. The venue shows the QR. The player scans it. DriftTable handles the rest.
- ScanOpen the venue-specific check-in from the QR code.
- Sign inCreate an account or use the one already attached to the player.
- Check inAttendance is tied to that venue and weekly event.
- Build the teamScores belong to the persistent team while attendance belongs to the people present.
- ReturnThe scoreboard and online continuation give the team a reason to come back.
Time windows
The system follows the venue schedule.
Each venue has its own configured day, start time, preshow, expected game length, and score-entry window. The API evaluates those windows when a real action happens. It does not need a server process checking every minute.
- Preshow beginsThe show can start and venue check-in opens.
- Trivia beginsThe prepared questions carry the room through the game.
- Expected finishNew check-ins close when the configured trivia duration ends.
- Venue scores closeStaff still has a defined window to finish paper and final score entry.
- Online unlockThe online release has its own separate weekly clock.
What the venue needs
Use the screen already in the room.
- A TV or projector customers can see
- An internet-connected device that can cast or display video
- Normal venue staff to start the show and manage the room
- Optional printed answer sheets for paper teams
