FAQ

Zuesly is a free web app for running Beer Olympics and competitive party games. Hosts create a room, add teams, and manage tournament formats—brackets, round robins, King of the Hill, King's Cup, and quick games. Guests follow along live from their phones. No account or download required.

Hit "Start a Party" on the home screen to spin up a new session. You'll get a unique 6-digit join code to share with your crew. No account required.

Head to Teams in the menu. Add each team, give them a name, pick a color, and choose an emoji. You can add or remove teams at any point during the event.

In the Events tab, add the games you're playing. Choose a game type — Bracket, Round Robin, King of the Hill, King's Cup, or Quick Game — and set your point values for each placement.

Bracket, Round Robin, KotH, and King's Cup all live in the Live Action tab. Start a game there and track every match in real time.

Quick Game is instant — pick placements, hit Award, done. For Live Action games, points are awarded automatically when you end the game.

Your join code is always visible at the top of the screen. Tap it to copy and share with anyone who wants to follow along on their phone.

Open bit.ly/zuesly on your TV browser, tap "View on TV", and enter the room code. The leaderboard updates live so everyone can see the standings.

Go to zuesly.com and tap "Join the Party". Enter the 6-digit code from your host. No account or download needed.

The Scores tab updates live as results come in. Watch the leaderboard shift in real time — or look away if you can't handle it.

Open the Live Action tab to follow Brackets, KotH, Round Robin, and King's Cup as they play out match by match.

The Events tab shows all the games scheduled for the session and the recorded results so far.

Guests are view-only. Only the host can add teams, record results, or manage games. That's their job — you just show up and play.

Head-to-head single elimination. One loss and you're out. Brackets are seeded randomly — may the best team win. Works great for Flip Cup, Beer Pong, and any 1v1 game.

Everyone plays everyone. Track wins, ties, and losses across multiple rounds. Best record takes the crown. Ideal when every team should face every other team at least once.

Beat the team above you to climb the ranks. Keep winning to hold the top spot. Lose and you drop back down. Great for shorter games with lots of quick rounds.

The classic card game, tracked in Zuesly. The host awards MVP points for standout plays — and whoever drinks the final cup takes a point penalty. Chaos guaranteed.

No setup needed. Play any game you want outside the app, then open Zuesly, pick your placements (1st, 2nd, 3rd...), and hit Award. Points hit the board instantly.

Each game type awards points based on placement. You set the point values when you add a game — for example, 3 pts for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd. The leaderboard totals them up automatically.

Tied teams share the same rank. If two teams are tied for 1st, they both get the gold medal. The next team is ranked 3rd, not 2nd — standard competition ranking.

Below the main leaderboard, you'll find a medal count table showing how many gold, silver, and bronze placements each team has earned across all games.

Results can be removed from the Events tab if the host needs to correct a mistake. Points are recalculated automatically.
