Board Game Turn Timer

Long turns kill the fun. Give every player a timed turn that loops around the table: 30 seconds, 2 minutes, whatever fits your game, and the clock passes to the next player when they tap or when time runs out. Turn on a short break between turns so players can hand over the device and get set, and it tracks how much time each person has used. From Catan and Scrabble to charades and trivia, a visible turn timer beats analysis paralysis and keeps game night moving. Open the turn timer to set up your players and go.

• Looping turns for the whole table
• Optional break between turns
• Tap to pass, or auto-advance with a buzzer
• Per-player time tracking and a big table display

Count-Up Timer for Speedruns & Competitions

Speedrunners and competition organizers need precise elapsed-time tracking. EventTimer's count-up mode starts from zero and measures exactly how long a task takes, down to the millisecond if needed. Use it for speedrun attempts, escape-room challenges, cooking competitions, or any timed contest where the fastest time wins. The fullscreen display makes it easy for spectators to follow along, and the pause/resume function handles breaks cleanly.

• Millisecond precision for speedruns
• Fullscreen spectator display
• Pause/resume for breaks
• Zero-lag start on spacebar

Trivia & Quiz Night Timer

Keep your trivia night moving with timed question rounds. Set a 30-second timer for each question, a 2-minute timer for written rounds, or a 10-second buzzer timer for rapid-fire rounds. The countdown is visible to all teams on a projected screen, creating excitement and fair time pressure. The color-coded warnings. Yellow at 10 seconds, red at 5 seconds, build suspense as teams race to lock in their answers.

• Timed question rounds
• Projected display for all teams
• Color-coded suspense building
• Quick preset switching between rounds
