Group decisions

Group voting

Swarm-style group decision making - participants see a honeycomb of answers, discuss in a chat and together drag one shared marker toward the answer they agree on.

What is Group voting?

You define a question and up to six answers laid out as a honeycomb. Questions are saved to your organization’s library so you can run session after session from them - sharing a code or QR code. Participants join from their phones without logging in, entering only their name.

In a session everyone grabs the same shared marker and drags it toward their answer. Each person pulls only a little - a single move nudges the marker just a touch - so it reaches a target only through the combined force of the whole group, which has to agree. A group discussion runs alongside, and every session’s result is saved.

See it in action

One marker, one group - consensus on the honeycomb

Participants join with a code or QR and everyone grabs the same marker on the honeycomb of answers. Each person pulls their own way, but a single pull only nudges the marker - it follows the combined force of the group while the negotiation runs in the chat. Once the group agrees, the marker lands on the shared answer and the session result is saved.

Features

Key capabilities

  • Honeycomb of answers

    A question and up to six answers in a clear hexagonal layout the shared marker moves across.

  • One shared marker

    The whole group drags the same marker - the resultant counts, so you decide together for real.

  • Live discussion

    A group chat runs alongside the vote so participants negotiate and justify their choice.

  • Question library and results

    Save reusable questions, launch sessions from them and revisit the saved results.

  • Join by code or QR

    Participants join from their phones with one scan or code, entering only their name.

  • Freeze for discussion

    Freeze the marker in place when the group needs to talk it through, then let the dragging resume - freezes are limited, so they have to be spent wisely.

  • Round time in your hands

    Every question has its own time limit, which you can shorten or extend mid-round - or end the vote at once when the group has clearly agreed.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Build a question

    Enter the question and up to six answers, then save it to the library.

  2. Launch a session

    Start a session from the question and open the host console with its code and QR.

  3. Participants join

    The group joins by code or QR and sees the honeycomb on their own devices.

  4. Negotiate together

    Everyone drags the shared marker and discusses until the group lands on one answer.
