What is Shabo?
Shabo (Shaan Board) is a state-of-the-art interactive game platform designed to bring professional game-show-quality entertainment to any gathering. Whether it's a family reunion, a community event, or a team-building session, Shabo transforms classic formats like Jeopardy and Family 100 into seamless digital experiences. No more manual scorekeeping or paper boards—Shabo handles everything in real-time.
Background & Story
The project was born out of a simple need: making community gatherings for the Advent Youth more engaging. We often found that traditional games were held back by slow organization and messy scorekeeping. Shabo was created to solve this, providing a fast, customizable workspace where games can be launched in seconds. It’s built to foster joy, laughter, and healthy competition within any group.
Core Features
🎲 Multi-Game Support
Shabo currently supports two of the most popular game show formats, with more on the way:
- Jeopardy: A category-based grid game where points increase with difficulty.
- Family 100 (New!): A survey-based game where teams try to guess the top answers.
📱 Real-time Remote Control (Firebase)
One of the most powerful features of Shabo is the Remote Control. By leveraging Firebase Realtime Database, hosts can control the game board from their mobile phones while the main game is projected on a big screen. This allows the host to move around freely, interact with the audience, and trigger animations or reveal answers with a single tap.
📊 Professional Management Dashboard
Manage all your game sessions from an intuitive dashboard. Organized by game type, you can easily create, edit, duplicate, or delete sessions.
🛠️ Advanced Session Creators
Building a custom game is effortless. With our grid-based editors and survey managers, you can input questions, answers, and points in minutes.
