What is a Real-Time Game Event?

Game Events allow you to create a game room where users can join simultaneously and compete against each other. These events are often conducted during video calls, such as Zoom classes, online team-building sessions, various training sessions, and employee engagement events.

Unlike regular Interacty projects, which are published as websites and can be accessed by users at their own time, Game Events are designed for real-time interaction.

• Real-Time Scoring and Instant Gratification: Participants receive immediate feedback and see their scores after each round, adding urgency and excitement to the gameplay.
