In the room
What a live round looks like
Each player holds their card face-down until the facilitator calls the reveal. Simultaneous reveal is the safest way to get an honest estimate — nobody anchors on the first number they hear.
- Everyone picks a card — votes stay hidden until all are in.
- Cards flip simultaneously — no anchoring from early reveals.
- Outlier votes surface instantly so the team can discuss.
- Strong consensus closes the round in seconds.
Blind mode
Lock in, then reveal — no anchoring
Blind mode enforces the core principle behind any planning poker deck: independent estimation. No card is visible until the last voter locks in — then everything reveals at once.
- Voters lock their estimate before seeing anyone else's.
- The reveal fires only once every participant has locked in.
- Prevents the loudest voice from pulling the whole group.
