Manual board maker vs AI board generator
Pick the one that matches what you walked in with.
Manual maker (free)
- You already have the questions in your head
- You want every clue to be specific (inside jokes, company stuff, classroom material)
- You enjoy writing — this is the fun part for you
- You want to save drafts and tweak forever
AI generator (Plus)
- You have a topic but no clues yet
- You need a playable board in under a minute
- You're fine editing a draft instead of writing from zero
- You make boards often and don't want to start from blank every time

Frequently asked questions
+What does the board maker actually let me build?
A full game show style board: title, emoji, category names, clue text, the correct answer for each clue and the point value. You decide everything — we just give you the grid and the host controls.
+Can I use my own point values?
Yes. The default ladder is $100 to $500 (or higher for Plus boards), but you can rename, reorder or change the values to fit a tournament, a kids board, or a long-form night.
+Do I need to write all 25 clues before I can play?
No. You can save a draft, walk away, and come back to finish later. Empty cells just won't appear in the game.
+Can I duplicate a board to make a new version?
Yes. Open any saved board and clone it — handy for re-running a classroom review for a new unit, or making a sequel to last year's holiday board.
+How is the manual maker different from the AI generator?
Manual is for when you already know the questions you want — you keep total creative control. The AI generator is for when you have a topic but no clues yet, and want a playable board in seconds. AI generation is a Plus feature.
+Can I keep my board private?
Yes. Boards are private by default. Toggle the public switch when you want to share with the Kleveroo community.
