Click HERE for Technical Frequently Asked Questions


  • Do I need keypads to use AllPlay?
    Yes. keypads ensure that everyone in your classroom can play along, and that you know each person's response. Back to top.
  • What can AllPlay 2 do that Gameshow Pro can't?
    AllPlay allows for survey questions (with no right or wrong answer), anonymity (only you need to know which participant has which keypad), and multiple guesses (you can set AllPlay so that trainees can try to answer a question 3 times before it is marked as an incorrect answer). This makes AllPlay a more specific testing and assessment tool. Back to top.
  • Do trainees see whether they answered correctly or incorrectly?
    The trainer can designate whether trainees can see whether their answers are right/wrong during the game, or the trainer can keep their answers hidden from them. Back to top.
  • Can people play on teams, or do they have to answer individually?
    Your trainees can play on teams or as individuals. On teams:
    • The instructor can group a set of keypads on a team, so that each participant gets their own keypad, but is part of a bigger team.
    • The participants can share keypads so they have to discuss an answer with their team before entering it on their shared keypad.

    No. The devices can only be used as ring-in devices for AllPlay. Back to top.

    • 915 MHz Radio Frequency

    • The Vote Status LED provides feedback when the student's vote has been received. (A green light indicates the vote has been received and recorded; a red flashing light indicates the student needs to vote again).
    • Requires 3 AAA batteries, which you can replace easily (without a screwdriver) on the back of the remote. (Three Energizer batteries are included with each new remote.)
