Mentimeter
Mentimeter is a live polling and presentation platform. Create word clouds, quizzes, and Q&A sessions that get every audience member participating instantly.
About This Game
Mentimeter transforms passive audiences into active participants through live interactive presentations. The platform lets hosts create slides with built-in engagement features — live polls, word clouds, quizzes, open-ended questions, scales, and ranking exercises. Audience members respond on their phones, and results appear on screen in real time.
The word cloud feature has become Mentimeter's signature icebreaker tool. Ask a group "What's one word that describes your mood today?" and watch a colorful cloud form as responses pour in. Popular answers grow larger, creating an instant visual snapshot of the room's collective voice. It's a powerful moment for any facilitator: everyone contributes, everyone sees the result, and the anonymity removes the fear of public speaking.
Beyond icebreakers, Mentimeter serves as a complete interactive presentation platform. Presenters can mix traditional slides with interactive elements, creating meetings and workshops where the audience's input shapes the conversation. For remote teams, it solves the eternal Zoom problem of "is anyone even paying attention?" — when people are actively voting and responding, engagement is guaranteed. The free plan allows two question slides per presentation, while paid plans unlock unlimited slides and advanced features.

- Use anonymous responses for sensitive topics — it dramatically increases honest participation.
