v1.5.0 — Now It's Fluent in Spanish, and a Whole Lot Sturdier
Back in 1.3.0 the game learned to say hola — one Spanish pack, the menus half-translated, an honest start but clearly a work in progress. This release finishes the job. Spanish is no longer a preview; it's a full seat at the table, with four packs, six hundred questions, and every last button in its own language. And while the doors were open, we went through the whole house tightening hinges, fixing latches and turning on the lights in the corners nobody had reached yet.
Pull up a chair — here's what's new.
🇪🇸 Spanish, all the way through
Spanish players used to get one pack and a menu that flickered between languages. Now there are four native Spanish packs — Geografía, Naturaleza, Ciencia and Historia — six hundred questions in all, written in Spanish from the ground up rather than run through a translator, so the phrasing and the fun facts read the way a Spanish speaker would actually say them. Every one was fact-checked before it shipped.
And the interface finally keeps up: the whole player and host UI is now fully translated, right down to the newest bits like the talking-host setup. Pick Spanish and the game stays Spanish — no more English flashing through on the odd screen. Same for the packs you already know and love in German and English; nothing there changed, Spanish simply pulls up alongside them.
🔒 A quieter, safer house
A big sweep of the plumbing this time, most of it the kind you're glad you never notice. We closed a handful of doors that shouldn't have been open on your home network — a way a device on your Wi-Fi could have grabbed host controls in the middle of a game, an unauthenticated corner that exposed player names, a couple of endpoints that answered to anyone who asked. Host-only actions now properly check that they're really coming from the host, the flag button can't be hammered, and the admin key stopped leaking into places it didn't belong. Nothing you have to do; it's just tighter than it was this morning.
✨ Easier on the eyes, kinder to the ears
A whole pass of polish aimed at the people actually sitting in the room. The TV text scales up so the couch can read the reveal and the standings without squinting. Colours and contrast got fixed where the light theme washed things out, keyboard focus is visible again, screen readers get proper labels on the timer and the dialogs, and anyone who's set "reduce motion" on their phone finally gets a calmer ride. Touch targets grew to the size a thumb expects, the TV lobby now shows the join QR and the live roster together, and a batch of small snags — clipped labels, off-centre toggles, dead buttons — quietly disappeared.
🔧 Under the hood
The scoring edges got a good going-over: a fistful of fixes around Steal, estimation rounds and the Lightning Round so the points land where they should even in the odd corner cases, plus reconnection and roster handling made steadier. Several hot paths were made lighter — leaderboards, finale recomputes, analytics — so busier games stay smooth. The test suite grew to a thousand passing tests, which is the real reason a release this broad can go out with a straight face.
🙏 Thank you
Completing Spanish came straight out of watching the half-finished version go out and wanting to do right by the people using it. Keep the questions, the bug reports and the "wouldn't it be nice if…" notes coming — they're what turns a preview into the real thing.
