Introducing Pulse Mode: Turn Your Event Into a Live Discussion

We're excited to announce Pulse Mode — a brand-new interactive mode that transforms your event into a live, audience-driven discussion. Whether you're hosting an unpopular opinion night, running icebreakers, or moderating a panel, Pulse Mode puts the conversation in your guests' hands while keeping you in full control.

🎉 What is Pulse Mode?

Pulse Mode is a topic queue that you flip through live on the big screen. Topics can be crowdsourced from your guests ahead of time, submitted live during the event, or added directly by the host. Each topic can have polls attached, reactions from the audience, and an optional auto-advance timer that keeps the energy moving.

Think of it as the discussion board for your event — but interactive, real-time, and designed for the big screen.

🎉 How It Works

1. Build Your Topic Queue

Before your event, enable Pulse Mode in your room settings. Guests can submit their own discussion topics — think "Pineapple belongs on pizza," "The best decade for music was the 90s," or "Remote work is better than office work." You can review and approve topics before they enter the queue, or let them flow in automatically.

As the host, you can also add your own topics with optional descriptions to set the context.

2. Go Live

When you're ready, hit Start Pulse. The first topic automatically appears on the cast screen in large, readable text — perfect for TVs, projectors, or shared screens. Your guests see the active topic on their phones and can immediately start reacting and voting.

3. Engage Your Audience

For each topic, you can:

• 🎈Attach polls — Create one or more polls tied to the current topic. "Agree or disagree?" "Rate this take 1–5." Guests vote inline and results update in real time.
• 🎈Collect reactions — Guests react with emoji reactions that flow across the screen.
• 🎈Set a timer — Use auto-advance to keep things moving. When the countdown hits zero, polls close and the next topic loads automatically.

4. Navigate at Your Pace

Use the host panel to advance to the next topic, go back to a previous one, or jump to any topic in the queue. Drag and drop to reorder upcoming topics on the fly. When you advance, all open polls for the current topic close automatically.

🎉 Features at a Glance

🎉 Who Is It For?

Pulse Mode is designed for any event where discussion drives the energy:

• 🎈Unpopular Opinion Nights — The event that inspired Pulse Mode. Queue up hot takes and let your guests react.
• 🎈Icebreakers — Kick off a party or corporate event with crowd-submitted conversation starters.
• 🎈Panel Discussions — Moderate audience questions with the queue and let attendees vote on which topics matter most.
• 🎈Debate Nights — Attach agree/disagree polls to every topic and see where the room stands.
• 🎈Team Building — "Would you rather" prompts, team trivia topics, or group decision-making.

🎉 Topic Packs: Skip the Blank Page

One of the hardest parts of hosting a discussion is coming up with topics on the spot. We built Topic Packs so you never have to start from scratch.

Curated Starter Packs

Jump straight into the action with curated packs built for common event types:

• 🎈Unpopular Opinions — Hot takes guaranteed to spark debate
• 🎈Icebreakers — Perfect for kicking off a party where not everyone knows each other
• 🎈Would You Rather — Classic dilemmas that never get old
• 🎈Hot Takes — Bold statements your guests won't be able to resist weighing in on
• 🎈This or That — Quick-fire choices to get the room warmed up

Import any pack with a single tap and your queue is ready to go.

Generated Topics

Don't see a pack that fits your event? Just describe your theme — "90s nostalgia night," "company Q3 kickoff," "friendsgiving dinner" — and we'll generate a tailored set of discussion topics for you. Available on Pro, Premium, and one-time rooms.

Save Your Own Packs

Spent time crafting the perfect topic list for your event? Don't let it disappear. Save your current topic queue as a custom pack that you can reuse at future events. Give it a name, description, icon, and category — it's your personal library of go-to discussion sets.

Free users can save 1 topic pack. Pro unlocks 3, and Premium gives you 5.

Share With the Community

Think your pack is too good to keep to yourself? Toggle it to public and it becomes available in the Community Packs library for every host on Party Post Live to discover and import. You'll see how many times your pack has been imported, and the community can sort by popularity or newest.

Browse packs other hosts have shared, search by name, and import the ones that catch your eye — all without leaving your host panel. Found something inappropriate? Report it and our moderation team will review it.

The Pack Workflow

Here's how it all comes together:

1. 🎈Start fresh — Import a curated pack, generate topics with AI, or write your own
2. 🎈Customize — Reorder, edit, add descriptions, remove topics you don't love
3. 🎈Run your event — Flip through topics live, attach polls, collect reactions
4. 🎈Save it — After the event, save your polished queue as a reusable pack
5. 🎈Share it — Make it public so other hosts can benefit from your curation

It's a virtuous cycle: the more events you run, the better your packs get, and the more the community grows.

🎉 Pulse Mode + Your Existing Setup

Pulse Mode works alongside everything you already use in Party Post Live:

• 🎈Cast screen — Pulse replaces the mixed feed when active. Switch back anytime.
• 🎈Floating PiP — Topics display in the compact floating window too — with full dark and light mode support.
• 🎈Polls — Pulse polls work independently of your room-level poll settings. Even if polls are turned off for the room, Pulse can have its own.
• 🎈Reactions — Same emoji reaction system, scoped to each topic.
• 🎈Recap — Pulse stats, hottest takes, and poll results are automatically included in your event recap page and email.

🎉 Getting Started

Pulse Mode is available now on all plans. Free rooms can have up to 10 topics with 2 polls per topic. Pro and Premium plans unlock higher limits and AI topic generation.

To try it out:

1. 🎈Create a new room (or edit an existing one)
2. 🎈Scroll to the Pulse Mode section in room settings
3. 🎈Toggle it on and configure your preferences
4. 🎈Import a starter pack, generate topics with AI, or add your own
5. 🎈Share the room code and start the discussion

After your event, save your topic queue as a pack and share it with the community. Your best discussions can become someone else's starting point.

We can't wait to see the conversations you spark. 🔥
