How Fuse works
Fuse installs on one venue machine and becomes the show's single source of truth. The host runs the room; an operator — or the host, on smaller shows — runs Fuse.
The console
The operator console shows the game state, the cue list and every connected device on one screen. Anything an operator touches mid-show is one press: no windows, no tabbing, no mouse hunting.
Scenes and cues
Every moment in a Fuse show is a cue: reveal an answer, award points, start a timer, change the light state, play a sting. Cues group into scenes, so one press fires the audio, the lighting and the board together — and they stay in sync because one runtime fires them. Fuse fires them over open connections.
Audience displays
Question boards, scoreboards and round titles render on any screen with a browser on the venue network — a TV, a projector, an LED wall, the lobby. Displays follow the show; nobody drives slides.
Scoring and physical inputs
Podium buttons, switches and triggers report to the runtime, which decides first press, applies lockout and lights the winner's lamp. Scores live in a ledger, so a mistaken award is corrected, not papered over.
Runs at the venue
Fuse runs on a Windows or Mac machine at the venue and keeps working when the internet doesn't. Show data stays in the building.
