Every text the guest sees can be changed: the welcome title, the buttons, the GO! that appears when a match starts, the {winner} wins! shown when a match ends, the column names of the match list and the break message. Each screen has its own tab in the Game Screens page. This article explains, screen by screen, which text appears where, its defaults, which ones can be hidden, and the other settings specific to the tab.
- In Game Screens, open the tab of the screen you want; find the text in the Texts section and type the new text into the field.
- If you leave the field empty, the ready-made text in the selected language is used. If you type something, the guest sees exactly that in every language; it is not translated.
- The switch at the start of the row removes the text from the guest screen. Buttons that lead forward (I'm ready, Play again, Back) cannot be removed.
- Placeholders such as {winner} and {score1} work in the Thank You screen title.
- The pause screen's title and message are in the Pause tab.
How the texts work
The Texts section lists the texts of that screen in the order they appear on screen. Each row has a switch, the row's name and a text field; while the field is empty, the current default is shown faintly inside it. The switch (Hide this text on the guest screen) removes the text from the screen; the text you typed is kept and comes back when you turn it on again. Rows without a switch cannot be hidden. The Screen Preview shows the result right away; tapping a text in the preview scrolls the page to that row.
The text you type is a single text independent of language: when the language changes, the rows you left empty switch to the new language, while the rows you filled in stay as they are.
These placeholders work in every text: {p1} and {p2} (player names), {winner} and {loser}, {score1} and {score2} (number of hits), {fastest} (the fastest reaction of the match, in milliseconds), {time} (match duration, the number of seconds only). An unrecognized {...} is printed as it is. In games where no name was asked or the name was left empty, the name placeholders stay empty.
Call to Action tab
The Welcome screen. Since the whole screen starts the game, the guest can enter the game even if the button text is hidden.
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Small line above the title | The small text above the title. Can be hidden | Reflex duel |
| Title | The large title. Can be hidden | Fastest hands win |
| Subtitle | The line under the title. Can be hidden | Grab a friend. Hit your own colour. |
| Button | The button in the middle of the screen. Can be hidden; touching the screen still starts the game | Touch to start |
| Scoreboard shortcut | The trophy icon's place on this screen, a 3×3 grid. If you set it to Off, the trophy is not shown at all. A guest who taps the trophy goes to the match list; the game does not start | Top Left |
The Matches tooltip that appears above the trophy cannot be changed.
Input tab
The form's title, subtitle and fields are not here but in the Session → Survey tab; here there are only the look and the button texts.
Seating chooses how the two players stand in front of the screen; it applies to the form and the game screen together. Side by side (default): both read the screen in the same direction. Facing each other: Player 2's card and game panel rotate 180°; use it only on a screen lying flat, because on an upright screen Player 2 sees an upside-down interface.
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Consent checkbox | The sentence next to the privacy consent (GDPR) checkbox. Shown on each card while Disclaimer is on. Cannot be hidden | I consent to the processing of my personal data. |

| "Ready" button | Each card's confirmation button. Cannot be hidden | I'm ready |

| "Edit" button | The button that reopens a ready card. Although the switch is shown, the button stays on screen | Edit |
| Skip button | Only appears when the form has no required field. Can be hidden | Skip for now |
| Cancel button | The single button in the center below the two cards; cancels the game and returns to the welcome. Can be hidden | Cancel |
The error warnings and the buttons of the privacy notice window cannot be changed. Details: the article How to Collect Names and Consent from Players?

The pause screen opened with Run the App → Show Pause Screen. The texts in this tab have no hide switch.

During the pause, the lock icon also uses the Dashboard Icon setting in the Main tab; this tab has no separate icon setting.
Expecting the text you typed to be translated when the language changes: a row you filled in stays the same in every language. If you want translation, leave the field empty.
Using {winner} in the title while the form does not ask for a name: since the name is empty, the title comes out as wins!. In that case write a title without a name, such as Game over!.
Looking for the input form title on this page: the title, subtitle and fields are in the Session → Survey tab.
Pressing Reset to Defaults in the Pause tab: the title and message are written in English, the logo is turned on at the top center, and the lock icon becomes fully visible at the bottom center during the pause. You can return to the language-dependent ready-made text by deleting the English texts; you cannot restore the lock icon's place during the pause from this tab.
