What is the Who’s First Game Buzzer used for?

The Who’s First Game Buzzer is a facilitator tool that lets participants “buzz in” quickly during quizzes, review games, and knowledge checks. It helps add energy, speed, and friendly competition to training sessions and meetings.

How do you use the Who’s First buzzer in a training session?

Ask a question, have individuals or teams buzz in to answer, then award points for correct responses. It works well for review games, reinforcement activities, and quick knowledge checks.

Is the Who’s First Game Buzzer good for teams or individuals?

Yes. You can use it with individuals competing head-to-head or with teams (each team chooses a representative to buzz in).

What types of activities work best with the buzzer?

It’s commonly used for trivia, Jeopardy-style review games, rapid-fire Q&A, scenario questions, and recap activities at the end of training.

Does the buzzer work for in-person training only?

It’s designed for in-person sessions, but it can also be used in hybrid settings if the in-room participants are buzzing in and the facilitator is managing remote participation separately.

How many people can play at once?

The buzzer works well for small groups and large groups. For larger groups, participants typically play in teams so the activity stays fast and inclusive.

What skills does a buzzer game reinforce?

Buzzer games reinforce recall, listening, speed of decision-making, and confidence when responding under time pressure. They’re also useful for reviewing key concepts and improving engagement.

How many people can this set handle?

Choose the 4-player or 8-player set, or expand up to 36 players in total).

Can the facilitator see who rang in first?

While the facilitator's P.A.D. will show that someone has rung in, it doesn't identify who. They must look at the player pads to see which has the green light, or the player can identify themselves. All other buzzers will have a red light.

How does the facilitator control the game?

The facilitator's remote has several buttons. To control the game, there are two options: The facilitator can press CONTINUE (blocks previous winners from buzzing in again until everyone has had a turn) or RESET (all can buzz again immediately). They can also adjust the sound level. Finally, a short press of the right/wrong buttons will play a correct (bing-bing) or incorrect (bzzzzz) sound; a long press of those buttons will trigger the system to indicate which player has had the most correct or incorrect answers.

Can I connect this to software?

Yes. The facilitator unit includes a USB port to integrate with compatible game-show software.

Here's what people are saying about this "Trainers Exclusive":

"... I just wanted to write and tell you -- what an AWESOME, well made, easy to use product. I will use this with my students and during training sessions with the staff. I love the storage bag that came with it has a home for everything. This was a well thought out product and I can't wait to put it to use!" --Ryan from Hampstead Central School

"For 10 years we have been playing a Jeopardy-style game as a review for one of our classes, and it has always been a challenge (and sometimes source of great controversy) to figure out which team was first to answer the question. We've tried raising hands and other types of buzzers, but the teams that weren't chosen frequently argued that the judge just didn't see them, or that their buzzer sounded a split second before the other team's. It was stressful for the instructors who were leading the activity and distracted the students from the review as they got all wound up about whether the other team was unfairly getting more chances to answer questions. This takes all the subjectivity out of it. The flashing light is up there for everybody to see. It's just what we needed to get the focus off the process and onto the content. Makes the instructors happier too, since they don't have to make any more controversial judgment calls." --WV Catherder from Harpers Ferry

** TIPS **

STAND-ALONE BUZZER: If you don't have time for a long Jeopardy-like game, you can also put together a quick 5-10 question quiz and keep score the old -fashioned way, on a chalk board or whiteboard.

SOFTWARE INTERFACE: If you want to check the software interface, plug in the USB cable from the light tower to your computer. Then open any sort of word document. When you tap one of the colored buttons, you should see it type a number 1-2-3-4-5-6. If no number appears, we might have a connectivity issue.

BATTERY CHECK: Be sure to test your buzzer before any event. If the unit is not working, it's always good to check the power and/or the batteries in the touch pads.

HOW TO PLAY

Facilitating Me First! Games is easy and stress-free.

ASK the audience your question.
PARTICIPANTS BUZZ IN with their responses by pushing on the dome of their P.A.D.
QUICKLY SEE RESULTS: When someone buzzes in, the Facilitator Unit lights up GREEN. The student to buzz in first will see their P.A.D. turn GREEN, signaling that it's their turn to answer the question. All other participants’ P.A.D.s will light up RED until the facilitator presses the CONTINUE or RESET button.
INDICATE RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER: If a player answers incorrectly, the facilitator can press the red “WRONG” button, to create a buzzing sound; If the Me First player provides a correct answer when playing, the facilitator can press the green “RIGHT” button to make a DING-DING sound. The correct player's P.A.D. will also flash to indicate that they answered correctly. The wireless game show lockout buzzers track this data for the entirety of the game.
CHOOSE CONTINUE OR RESET: By pressing CONTINUE, the facilitator will “lock out” the P.A.D.(s) that have already been green, and turn them RED. All other P.A.D.s will light up YELLOW, signifying that those remaining players may again attempt to buzz-in. Me First! hosts can keep pressing CONTINUE after subsequent questions until all players have had a chance to answer.

USE ME FIRST GAME BUZZERS FOR GROUPS OF ALL SIZES

Add additional Player P.A.D.s (sold separately) to expand the game to as many as 36 participants.
Add a second Facilitator Remote (sold separately) to run two games simultaneously, with each unit connected to multiple player P.A.D.s.

TRAINERS TIP: "I USE THEM AS AN EXERCISE COMPLETION INDICATOR"

I love when our trainers share their tips and tricks. This one is from seasoned facilitator and trainer, Nora Gerber:

"I use the Me First Buzzers with my table teams so they can indicate when the table has completed an assigned task or conversation. Then the whole room knows when everyone is ready to move along." To do this, hit "CONTINUE" after each table rings in. When all the table buzzers show RED, hit "RESET" and move along.
