Flashcast Features

Flashcast lets you poll your friends and co-workers for forecasts and keeps score of how everyone did.

Setup your Flashcast

Ask a question about what you want the audience to forecast, e.g. "Will it rain tomorrow in Chicago, IL?" Remember, you’ll be asking people to submit a probability (0-100% chance something will happen) so your question should have a verifiable outcome.

Setup and Presentation Features

  • Easy question creation wizard
  • Timer option to give a live audience a visual countdown

  • Yes/no or multiple choice format
