The Input Form is the screen where the guest types their name and, if you like, information such as their email and phone, before or after the game. The Session → Survey tab decides which fields are asked on the form, and the Session → Disclaimer tab decides the privacy consent (GDPR) checkbox. The consent is not a separate screen; it is a checkbox at the bottom of the form. This article explains the two tabs, how the form looks on the guest screen and where the information entered goes.
- In the Session → Survey tab, keep Enable Survey on and have at least one field under Form Elements. A new event comes with a required Name field ready.
- With When to Show Survey you ask the form before the game (At Start Screen) or after the game (After Capture).
- While Session → Disclaimer is on, a consent checkbox appears at the bottom of the form; Continue does not work until the box is checked. Write the title and text in your own language.
- The answers are written into the session record, go to the cloud and are taken from the web panel as Excel.
Survey
Turn the survey on or off
The Enable Survey switch decides whether the form appears. In a new event the switch is on and the form has a single required Name field. If you turn the switch off, the Input Form does not appear at all: the guest goes straight from the Welcome screen into the game, and their score is written to the scoreboard without a name (with a short code such as Guest · 4F2A). The form is also skipped if the survey is on but no field has been added.
This tab is not open on every plan. If your plan has no survey, instead of the settings a lock banner (… plan only, below it You're on …. Upgrade to … to use this feature.) and an Upgrade to … button appear in the tab; the plan names are written where the dots are. In that case the form does not appear to the guest.
Title and subtitle
Type the text that will appear at the very top of the form into the Title field. The faint Survey Form text in the box is only a sample and is not saved; unless you type something, the guest sees the title Let's get to know you. Subtitle is optional; if empty, that line is not drawn on the guest screen at all.
When to ask the form
The When to Show Survey list in the Survey Form section has two options:
| Option | Guest flow | When to prefer it |
|---|---|---|
| At Start Screen | Welcome → Input Form → Game → Thank You → Scoreboard | Default. The name is taken before the game; it appears on the Thank You screen and the scoreboard from the start. |
| After Capture | Welcome → Game → Input Form → Thank You → Scoreboard | If you do not want to interrupt the game. The guest plays first, then types their name. |
The name After Capture is left over from the photo booth; in this game it means "after the game". The form asked after the game shows the same fields and the same consent checkbox; the name entered is written into the score row of the game just played.
Fields
You add fields with the buttons at the top: Name, Email, Phone, Text, Multiple, Options. Each field is a row: in the box on the left you type the label the guest will see, the star icon makes the field Required, the trash icon Deletes it (the question Delete "{0}" field? appears before deleting), and you change the order by dragging with the dotted handle (Drag to reorder). The order on the form is the order here.
| Field type | On the guest screen | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Text box | The player name on the scoreboard comes from here. If there are several Name fields, the first is used. |
| The email keyboard opens | If the format is wrong, the Invalid email address warning appears. | |
| Phone | The numeric keyboard opens | Only digits, plus, parentheses, hyphens and spaces can be typed. |
| Text | Free text box | For short answers. |
| Multiple | Option rows one below the other, several can be selected | You type the options into the sub-rows below the row; you add a new one with the plus. |
| Options | Option rows one below the other, only one can be selected | Tapping the same option again clears the selection. |
The label of the ready-made Name field in a new event is Name in English. Labels do not change with the language; whatever you typed is shown on the guest screen. Write the label yourself according to the event's language (such as Full name). The ready-made options that come when Multiple and Options are added are for the photo booth (such as Photo Quality, Social Media); edit them according to your own questions.
Disclaimer
The consent checkbox and the text
While the Disclaimer switch is on, a consent checkbox appears at the bottom of the Input Form: I consent to the processing of my personal data. with the Read the privacy notice link next to it. In a new event the switch is on. A guest who taps the link sees a window: the title comes from the Disclaimer Title field, the text from the Disclaimer Text field; at the bottom are the Close and I accept buttons. Accepting checks the box.
The Continue button cannot be pressed until the box is checked. There is no separate way to decline; a guest who does not want to consent returns to the start with Cancel. The hint in the tab about "session ends and photos are deleted" is for the photo booth; there are no photos in this game.
In a new event the title is Privacy notice and the text is a single English sentence, and it looks like this in every language. Write your own privacy notice in the event's language; the text field supports formatting such as bold text and bullet lists. The text you write is shown as is in every language.
Since the consent checkbox is only inside the Input Form, consent is not asked while the survey is off. If the form is asked after the game, consent is also taken after the game. You change the checkbox text and the link text in the Consent checkbox and Consent link rows of the Game Screens → Input tab; the link can be hidden, the consent text cannot.

The form on the guest screen
The card and the buttons
A single card sits in the middle of the screen. At the top are the title and the subtitle if any, below them a progress line showing one dot per field, then the fields. A required field has * in its label. If consent is on, the checkbox is below the fields. At the very bottom is the Continue button, Skip for now next to it if no field is required, and Cancel on a separate line.
- Continue: This field is required appears below a required field left empty, Invalid email address below a wrong email; once corrected, the form moves on. The answers are saved.
- Skip for now: no information is saved, the game is still played, the score is written without a name. Since the Name field in a new event is required, this button is not shown at all in most setups.
- Cancel: returns to the Welcome screen. If the form is asked before the game, the game never starts and no score is written. If the form is asked after the game, the score is already saved; the guest returns to the start without seeing the Thank You screen.
The inactivity timeout runs on this screen: if the guest leaves halfway, the screen returns to the Welcome screen when the time runs out. The card's place, text alignment and background are set in the Game Screens → Input tab.
Where the information goes
When the guest presses Continue, the answers (as label and value) and the moment they gave consent are written into that game's session record; the record syncs to the cloud and is taken as Excel from the event page in the web panel. Details: the article Where Do Scores and Participant Data Go?
Leaving the survey on and deleting all the fields: the form does not appear, the scores are written without names.
Deleting the Name field and asking only for an email: on the scoreboard and the Thank You screen a code such as Guest · 4F2A appears instead of a name.
Leaving the label as Name: in an event in another language the guest sees an English label. Labels are not translated with the language; write them yourself.
Leaving the disclaimer text as the English sentence from the new event: a guest in another language sees an English privacy notice.
Not deleting the ready-made options that come when adding Multiple: the guest is asked photo booth options such as Photo Quality.
Expecting Skip for now: if even one of the fields is required, the button does not appear.
