How a round plays out

1. The music starts automatically after the preparation countdown.
2. Players submit their answers from their devices.
3. Reveal hints if needed (Hangman, field reveals, 4-choice quiz).

The app automatically calculates points based on the speed and accuracy of the answers, as well as consecutive winning streaks.
