Remove a player from your game

In the lobby, tap a player on a phone, or click the ✕ on their card on a computer. Their score goes with them, and they can’t rejoin from that browser.

Updated October 17th, 2026

Removing works on every plan, on a phone or a computer.

  1. 1

    Remove them in the lobby

    In the lobby, tap a player (on a phone) or click the ✕ on their card (on a computer). On a phone, confirm with Remove from game.

While players write questions or answer them

If players are writing questions on their phones, tap the ✕ on their name. During a question, a red Reported content button appears when someone reports a name or a question. Open it and tap Remove player.

What happens to them

Their phone shows Removed with a Back to Home button. Their score, answers and any questions they wrote are deleted, so they leave the leaderboard and the results. If they try to join again from the same browser, they see You can’t rejoin this game.

Removing someone blocks them from this game on that browser. From another browser or device they could still try, so turn on Approve players to join in Game settings to check everyone who joins.

Can I remove someone on the leaderboard or after the game?

No. Once the answer is shown or the game has ended, players can’t be removed.

Does the player get a warning first?

No. On a computer they’re removed as soon as you click; on a phone, as soon as you confirm.
