The Interface tab under the green Settings tab contains different settings affecting what is displayed on the Participant View and Presentation View during and after the Bingo Game.
Interface section on the Experience Dashboard
Interface Settings
The settings under the Interface section allow you to set certain preferences for your participants.
Highlight Called Squares
By default, the Highlight Called Squares setting is enabled for newly created Bingo Games. When enabled, participants whose Bingo Card has a called square will see the square highlighted in red with a shaking animation to indicate the square has been called. The square will continue to be animated and highlighted in a red outline until the player marks it off on their card.
When this setting is disabled, squares will not be highlighted or animated on the Participant View. Instead, the participant must find the square on their card to mark it. Disabling this setting is especially useful to run a game where participants must find called squares by themselves.

Hide Column Letters
By default, the Hide Column Letters setting is disabled for newly created Bingo Games. When this setting is enabled, called-squares with text will not display the column letter that it's located under. For instance, you may want to leave this setting disabled if you would like participants to see what column the called square is set under such as if you are running a traditional numerical Bingo round.
On the other hand, you may want to enable this setting to only display the square's text by itself rather than displaying the column letter along with the text. You can enable this setting to create a more challenging Bingo round where players may have to look a bit harder on their card to determine where the called square may be located.
Next Square Alert Style
The settings under the Next Square Alert Style allow you to choose from different options as to what will be displayed on the Presentation View and Participant View for called squares.
Display Square's Text or Image (Standard Bingo)
By default, this alert style is enabled after selecting to create a Live Bingo game from the Create Experience page. When the Display Square's Text or Image setting is enabled, then each called square will display its text or image on the Presentation View and Participant View. If the called square does not have an image attached, then its sole text will be shown. Select this alert style for Bingo Games where you would like players to quickly recognize if they have the called square or not.

Participant View - Display Square's Text or Image enabled |
Display Square's Hint Only (Quiz Mode)
When the Display Square's Hint Only setting is selected, then only the called square's hint text will be displayed on the Presentation View and Participant View, while the text or images on the square will appear on the player's bingo card.
You can select this alert style for games where you would like players to identify the text or images on their bingo cards based on the hints that the host provides and/or the hint displayed on the next square alert.
If you enable this setting to run a Quiz Mode Bingo Game, you may also want to consider disabling the Highlight Called Squares setting in order to require your participants to determine what square is being called, along with finding the square manually on their card.

Participant View - Display Square's Hint enabled |
Hide Called Squares
The last alert style, Hide Called Squares, will show a blank notification on the Participant View and Presentation View. With this setting, players must rely on the host to know which spaces have been called.
This alert style is ideal for games where players must mark squares on their bingo cards solely based on hints from the host. When a host calls a square, the next square alert will display a white ball with a question mark on both the Presentation View and Participant View. For example, a host can issue hints as verbal clues, songs, etc. The player must then determine what square corresponds to the host's hint and find the square on their card.
You may also want to consider disabling the Highlight Called Squares setting if you'd like to require participants to determine what square is being called based on the host's hints, along with finding the square manually on their card.

Bingo Notifications
The Bingo Notifications section allows you to choose what you would like to display as participants earn bingo.
Show Bingo Notifications
By default, the Show Bingo Notifications setting is enabled for any newly created Bingo Game. When this setting is enabled, a green notification bar will be displayed on the Presentation View, Experience Dashboard, and all connected Participant Views.
When this setting is disabled, no notifications will be displayed as participants continue to earn bingos during the game.

Hide Points Change Indicators on Leaderboards
When the Hide Rankings Indicators setting is disabled, the points change indicators on the leaderboard will appear when the Show Rankings Leaderboard is enabled.
When this setting is enabled, the Rankings Indicators will not appear on both the Presentation View and Participant Views.

Show Action Effects
By default, Bingo Games will display Action Effects such as confetti animations during the game whenever a participant answers a question correctly on their Participant View, as well as during the Winner Reveal Animations screen on both the Presentation View and Participant View.
Action Effects are shown after a player receives a Bingo |
Language Settings
This setting allows you to select which language the Participant View and Presentation View display. These are the only crowd-facing views in Crowdpurr. At this time, the Experience Dashboard is only displayed in English.
Select Language
This sets the language for all labels and instructions that are read by your crowd. So if your crowd is French-speaking, you can set the Participant View and Presentation View to display all their labels and instructions in French. Crowdpurr currently offers English, Spanish, and French language versions of these views. To learn more about how Crowd Language works, check out the article - Set Experience Crowd Language.
Reset Experience
This button is another shortcut for resetting your Bingo Game. Resetting your Bingo Game will remove all game responses from your crowd and set your Bingo Game back to the Ready state. This is useful if you had previously tested or did a "dry run" of your Bingo Game and want to make it ready for another test or your actual live event. Resetting your Bingo Game using this button is the same as using the Finish and Reset buttons in the Playback Controls and clicking the Clear Crowd Responses button.
To reset your Bingo Game, simply click on the red Reset button.
