Engage

A room that answers back.

Put a question on the screen and the answers come in from the phones in the room. A quick poll, a word cloud, a secret ballot, or a whole session strung together. Nobody installs anything, and nobody signs up but you.

Three things you could make this week

Warm up the room

A word cloud. "What brought you here?" Everyone types a word, and the big ones swell on the screen while the room watches.

Ask the room

A quick poll. Live on the projector with a scan-to-join code, or sent out for people to answer on their own time.

Make a poll

Run the whole session

A Flow: a poll, then a sign-up, then a date, as one guided link. Reveal each step when you're ready for it.

How it goes

A workshop, a staff meeting, a youth group, a keynote. Anything with people in a room, or people who should be.

  1. Ten minutes before

    You write the question

    One question or several: a poll, a word cloud, open answers. If it's going on the big screen, Presentation Mode gives you a slide per question with a code the room scans to join.

  2. In the room

    Phones out, eyes up

    People scan, answer, and watch the results move on the wall. No app, no login, no hunting for a link. The newest answers show first, so the room sees itself arrive.

  3. Or on their own time

    Send the link instead

    Same question, no room needed. Everyone answers from wherever they are, and if you tick "email me when participants respond", Engage tells you as the answers land.

  4. Afterwards

    The results are yours

    Every answer across every step, gathered in one place. Copy the session for next time from its link.

Good to know

Engage and Chooser are one app with two front doors. Engage's door leads with the things you run in a room; Chooser's leads with the things you settle over a week, like a date or a sign-up sheet. One account opens both.

A secret ballot is its own thing. Invited voters, one ballot each, hidden even from you. It has its own page, because it deserves one.

A Flow needs an account; a single poll doesn't. Accounts are free. Your participants never need one either way.

What it costs

Engage is free, with no ads and no subscription. Sending email is the one thing at Shatuga with a price: if you send a session out by email instead of a code on the screen, that is $20 for 10,000 emails. A scan-to-join code costs nothing at all.

Shatuga is a very small company. Here's Mars, the person behind it, in case you want to put a face to the otter.

Make your first one.

Start with a word cloud. It takes two minutes, and the room does the rest.
