All of the computers are connected to a server. The server is controlled by an operator located in the editing department. It follows the rhythm of the games and the instructions of the host or the director.
In case there is any kind of incident, a “cancellation” key has been included that automatically invalidates the points obtained during the last game. However, the score accumulated until that point will be saved.

The operator that is connected to the server has a second screen that the host can see from his/her stand (it does not include a keyboard or a mouse)
The host can follow the contestants’ correct and incorrect answers, their scores and all of the answers to the games in real-time.
