--- GAME SETUP ---
SCREEN
The "Screen" button at the top right of the control screen will turn the game screen on. If you have multiple displays connected it will also let you select which screen you want the game on. Windowed mode is a great way to play the game on a single screen if you want to practice.
CCG.BUZZ setup
CCG.BUZZ is a great way to buzz in from anywhere on the planet. If you would like more info on CCG.BUZZ, check out our CrowdBuzzer page.
The Happy Couple Game has CCG.BUZZ integrated right into the game. Use 1 phone for each couple/team. Tell them to go to CCG.BUZZ and then enter the game code you see on the control screen.
The couple in the 1st chair will be "Couple one".
CUSTOMIZE
The game has 4 modes. Happy Couple, Office Mates, Bestie Challenge, and Alpha. The ALPHA mode turns off the background and will let what ever graphic, image or video behind the game be the background. This makes customization very quick and easy. Just change the desktop wallpaper on your 2nd display. Or play the game over the top of a presentation or video playback software.
