Field notes
The organizer selects questions, while guests scan a code to enter; the page says their answers remain private. Flare describes matching across the whole room and offers organizer totals for sharing with sponsors or venues, but explicitly labels the figures shown as examples rather than event results. Guests are said to need neither an account nor name tags.
