How it works
Three steps from question to answer
Write the question
Write one question or paste in several at once. Choose single choice, multiple choice, word cloud, open text or scale.
Show the code
Your presentation opens with a large QR code. Anyone who can’t scan goes to svarado.com and types in six characters.
Show the answers when you choose
You see how many have answered. The distribution appears on screen only when you choose.
Question types
Five ways to ask
Every type is built to be read from the back row: large text, clear bars and nothing cut off.
Which part should we go over again?
41 answers
Three modes
Choose how playful it gets
You pick the mode before the question opens. It decides scoring, what participants see and how much energy the room gets.
Poll
For opinions, decisions and a read on the room. Just the question and the distribution.
- Points
- None
- Correct answer
- None
- Change answer
- Yes, until voting closes
Knowledge check
To see what has stuck. Factual, without a competitive feel.
- Points
- Right or wrong, shown only to each person
- Correct answer
- With explanation, when you choose

Competition
When the group needs energy. Points and a leaderboard, just as easy to read.
- Points
- For correct answers, optional time bonus
- Leaderboard
- Top five, when you show it

- Off
No sound and no confetti. Motion turns off when the device is set to reduce motion.
Controlled question display
The question stays on the projector
In a knowledge check, phones can show just the answer options. Participants look up, read the question and answer. Attention stays in the room.
- You choose before the question opens, and the choice holds for the whole round.
- Read the question aloud for anyone who can't see the screen.
- The correct answer and explanation appear only when you choose.
A support for knowledge checks in teaching. Not an examination system.
Built to be trusted
Registered means saved
Participants get a receipt only once the answer is in the database. If the connection drops, they are told so, instead of seeing a tick that isn’t true.
Nothing reaches the screen unreviewed
Words and open text go into a queue. You approve what the group sees, and an edited answer is reviewed again.
Results are not the answer key
You can show how the group answered without revealing the correct answer. The answer and explanation are a separate decision.
Question bank and import
Write the question once. Use it every course.
Save questions with tags and learning objectives. Build your next session from questions you already have.
- Paste or import up to 100 questions at a time, from CSV or JSON.
- You see every question before anything is saved. One error stops the whole import, so nothing is left half done.
- A question from the bank becomes its own copy. Changes in the bank never affect old presentations.

Answers for whoever is buying
Organizations ask about data, accessibility and contracts. Here are the short answers.
- The database is in Stockholm
- Svarado's database runs in the EU region in Stockholm. Feel free to ask us about the other services we use.
- Name-free, not anonymous
- In name-free mode you see no names. Technical identifiers are still needed to register an answer, so we promise no more than that.
- No account for participants
- No app and no email address. Participants answer in their phone’s browser.
- Swedish and English
- The whole flow is available in both languages, for you and for participants.
- Accessibility as a requirement
- We build toward WCAG 2.2 AA and use a typeface designed for legibility.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find the answer? Write to info@svarado.com
Do participants need to download an app?
No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera or go to svarado.com and type in the code. Everything happens in the browser.
How many people can join a session?
During the beta we promise up to 100 participants per session. Larger groups have been tested, and we will raise the figure here once they have run with real participants.
Does Svarado work with PowerPoint?
Today you show Svarado in its own window next to your presentation. A PowerPoint add-in is being tested in a pilot and will launch only when it works in the versions we list.
Are the answers anonymous?
In name-free mode you see no names. We say name-free rather than anonymous, because technical identifiers are needed to register an answer. With display names, participants type in a name themselves, and that name is not verified.
Where is the data stored?
The database is in the EU region in Stockholm. Contact us if you want to know which other services are involved, for example for sign-in emails.
Can I import questions I already have?
Yes. Paste or upload CSV or JSON using the template, up to 100 questions at a time. You see every question before anything is saved.
Can I use Svarado for exams?
Svarado is made for knowledge checks during teaching. It is not an examination system where identity and cheating need to be controlled.
What does it cost?
Nothing during the beta. Organizations that want to run a pilot with an agreement can get a quote.
