Resets the attention
A two-minute intervention every quarter of an hour keeps the room awake. It is not decoration: it is the only reliable way to sustain a long presentation.

A room's attention drops after fifteen minutes unless you ask it for something
We run interactive presentations: live voting from phones, multiplayer quizzes with rankings, screens that react to the audience and dynamics that turn a talk into a conversation.
There is an uncomfortable fact anyone who has presented knows: a room's attention drops noticeably after the first quarter of an hour. It does not depend on how good the content is or how good a speaker is talking; it depends on listening without doing anything being a passive activity from which the brain disconnects. The only reliable way to reverse it is to ask the audience for something.
What works best is participation from phones, because everyone has one in hand and it needs no extra equipment. Live voting on a relevant question, a three-question quiz with a ranking, a word cloud built from the room's answers. They are two-minute interventions that reset attention and also generate content for the presentation itself.
The second tool is competition. A team quiz with a visible scoreboard turns an informative session into something people follow. It works particularly well in internal training, in product presentations to sales networks and at conventions, where it also uses the teams that already exist by office or unit.
We provide the technology, the content and the operator running the session in real time. That matters: live voting that fails or is slow to show results breaks the presentation's rhythm, so we work with our own system, our own connectivity where the venue is unreliable, and a full test before starting.

From the phone, no equipment
Everyone has their phone. Voting, quizzes and word clouds work without handing anything out and without explaining how to use them.
With an operator and our own network
Voting that fails breaks the event's rhythm. We bring our own system, our own network where the venue is unreliable, and a full test before starting.
How we set it up
We review the presentation
Duration, blocks and at which moments an intervention fits without breaking the thread.
We design the interactions
Questions, mechanic, result format and how it integrates with your slides.
We prepare and test
Content, connectivity and a full test in the room before the audience comes in.
We operate live
A technician runs the session, launches each intervention at its moment and hands you the results at the end.
Formats and ideas that work
- Live vote on a key question from the presentation
- Three-question quiz with a ranking between offices
- Word cloud built from the room's answers
- Audience questions collected and prioritised by votes
- Team scoreboard accumulated across the day
- Closing survey with results projected instantly
- Screen reacting to the room's noise or movement
- Final draw among everyone who took part in the votes
Where to place the interventions
Not all breaks are worth the same. The first intervention should come early, around minute ten, because it establishes that the session is participative and people keep their phone to hand instead of putting it away. If the first arrives at forty minutes, half the room has already disconnected and recovering it is far harder.
The second critical window is immediately after lunch on a long day. And the last, near the end, works better as a close than as a question: a concluding survey or a final ranking leaves the feeling that the session had an arc, rather than simply ending when the slides run out.
Frequently asked questions
Does anyone have to install anything?
No. Access is through the phone browser with a short code or a projected QR. It is deliberate: any extra step halves participation, and in a room of two hundred that shows.
What if the venue has poor coverage?
We bring our own connectivity. It is one reason we insist on testing beforehand: coverage in a full room is not the same as in an empty one, and it is worth checking.
Does it integrate with our slides?
Yes. Interventions are launched from our system and projected on the same screen, alternating with your presentation. We rehearse it so the switch is clean.
Do we keep the results?
Yes. We hand over answers, percentages and scores at the end. In internal training and at conventions it is usually useful information beyond the event itself.
Does it work with small groups?
Yes, though the format changes. Under thirty people anonymous voting loses its point and team quizzes work better, where the result is visible and there is real competition.
