00:00:00:10 - 00:00:12:22 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry am ranking every single Sidekick Pro feature and we're crowning one champion per episode. And then I'm being forced to use that module in my real life youth ministry. 00:00:13:00 - 00:00:24:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And today we're moving on from returning Legends and Staples on into the live categories. Today we are in live games. Welcome everybody to the hybrid Ministry show. 00:00:25:01 - 00:00:39:01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Well hey everybody, welcome to the Hybrid Ministry Show. If you and I haven't had a chance to meet yet. My name is Nick Clayson. In last week's episode, which is linked right here during the staples episode, we crowned wheel of Destiny as the champion, and I used it last night in my youth ministry. 00:00:39:01 - 00:01:05:06 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Listener. Everyone we pre-record. But today we are facing off in all the categories in Sidekick Pro called Live Games. Remember, there are three rules for this playlist and in this particular video, they are that we have to rank every single sidekick feature on a scale five on the on the categories of ease, intuition, and then operation. I must also then use the highest rated one in last night's youth ministry. 00:01:05:06 - 00:01:26:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So what? I'm about to crown here in just a minute. I used last night because of the beauty of pre-recording and pre filming. And then finally I must also spin the Wheel of Doom. And I must also do that thing in my most recent youth ministry. There will be a video in my upcoming Monday Patreon podcast, which these punishments were supplied by members of my Patreon tier. 00:01:26:16 - 00:01:30:18 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So without any further ado, if you're watching here on YouTube, you're about to see my sidekick 00:01:30:18 - 00:01:44:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry screen and first episode or first episode. First thing up here on the playlist is the Wheel of Doom. Let's just go ahead and give that sucker a good ol spin. And last night I had to try and bring back the word chim. 00:01:44:15 - 00:02:03:17 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Okay, so this is like from long time listeners of the OG podcast, Josh and Doug, and even like Matt McGill, they try to make the word Shem a thing. So you're going to see a clip highlight. I might even post it on my social media of me using the word gem in my youth ministry, but no explanation, right? 00:02:03:17 - 00:02:25:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry No one really knows what's going on. Shout out Scott Tinman for this Wheel of Doom punishment. Super funny there. All right, let's jump in without any further ado. So the first thing here is the Live Number Guesser module. So like I said, all of these are live are live features. And so what I'm also going to do is I'm getting my phone out right here, right now. 00:02:25:16 - 00:02:47:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And I'm going to start screen recording so that you can see how each of these things work from like the user interface as well. All right. So this is very simply a live guesser. So this is a game. It could be a game in and of itself. But it's probably more like realistically a contestant thing. So it's like try and guess like the best number right. 00:02:47:22 - 00:03:04:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Or try and get closest to the best number. And so let's look through how to set it up. So you have your number range from low all the way up to high. We can make it as many as we want. Imagine we could go all the way up 2000 if we want, and then we can just slide right here, our magic number on the leaderboard. 00:03:04:13 - 00:03:25:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry We can show top one, top two, top three, top four. The winner gets a message. The loser gets another message. The winner gets a color. The loser also gets a color. All right. And so, And just like all the other ones, before we can choose our theme, our background, all those types of things. And so if we want to do that, we can mess around with that. 00:03:26:01 - 00:03:51:04 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then I can also choose my, my background if I want to, if I want to choose my image. So I'm going to click here choose image. I'm going to go over to our assets. And I'm going to just choose our background asset as well as for this color graphic here, live number Guesser. And there we go. It's all set. 00:03:51:05 - 00:04:09:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So now if I'm back in my presentation I'm on number guesser. I can get this pulled up. I can right here. I can show title. I can show the players names, I can show, not the players names, and I can play the sound. So now grabbing my phone here, if I 00:04:09:15 - 00:04:14:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry were to be a contestant and I just wanted to scan the code, I'll go here. 00:04:14:15 - 00:04:33:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And you see right here, if you're watching here on the screen, I'm going to put my name. And now I am in the game and so live on my phone system in the game as well as over here. It says one player joined the game and now I can the operator over here. Right. They'll hit this big green button when it's time to start and everyone can get a chance to start guessing. 00:04:33:14 - 00:05:02:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so I already know what it's going to be. So let's see. Was it 7847 48 I actually already forgot. Walked in. The operator then here clicks close guessing and then reveal answer. It's green. I nailed it, but I'm curious. Let's try this again. So new number start guessing. 00:05:03:01 - 00:05:13:09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry I'm not going to get it. Like I'm going to intentionally get a wrong one. Lock it in. Close guessing. 00:05:13:11 - 00:05:46:10 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So I, I win. You'll always get a winner, right? You'll notice I guessed 7 or 678, but the answer was 677. So I was off by one, but I was closest. And so in this particular game, because there's exactly zero whole people, even if I guess like the number one here and it's like a 900, I lock it in, I close guessing and I reveal, though I was 920 spaces away, I still am considered the winner. 00:05:46:10 - 00:06:00:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so you will always get a winner, even if the person is very far away. Right? So it's it's closest to the pin. And so let's go ahead. Let's give that a 4.5 on ease for setting it up. It's very simple 00:06:00:21 - 00:06:08:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry for the intuition. There's no real like AI feature. But let's not penalize it for that. So let's just give it a standard 4.0. 00:06:08:22 - 00:06:30:02 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then as far as operation goes it's simple 4.7. You just really gotta it's really about waiting and making sure that all the contestants get an opportunity to get their their number in there and get as close as possible. So, that's live number guests are for a total there of what is that math? 00:06:30:04 - 00:06:45:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry a total of 13.2. So if we go here to our leaderboard and put live number guesser with 132, there we go. It is now sitting atop the live games section, but 00:06:45:17 - 00:07:04:03 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Listen, here's the reality. Like you might not think that you need to do anything with social media. You might not even consider it that important. But here's the good news your students, they do, and they live in that world. Like we just had some students create a bar stool of our student ministry account. 00:07:04:03 - 00:07:23:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry It's like a satire account. It's like a it's like a spam account, but it gets incredible traction and they have incredibly creative ideas. And so my seasonal social media pack is not done by Gen Z or Gen Alpha, right? But it is done with them in mind. And I will help coach you how to start creating a structure and a framework of content. 00:07:23:06 - 00:07:45:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Maybe you're not the content creator. That's fine. Hand it over to a student and watch what they can do when you let their creativity be unleashed. And so I will keep you consistent. I'll keep you when when things get difficult. When your schedule gets busy, my pack will just keep things moving for you. Okay? And then you hand it over to your student and you see what they can do. 00:07:45:12 - 00:08:08:22 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Go check it out. It's less than the cost of a cup of coffee per month. Actually, if you get the Patreon Hybrid Hero membership tier $4 per month, you get access to all of my social media packs and we are releasing the one for fall. So go check out the Fall Season social media pack. Even though this video looks very much like I'm right in the middle of summer, trust me, it's just Texas. 00:08:08:23 - 00:08:12:00 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Okay, go check it out and back to the rest of the video. 00:08:12:02 - 00:08:25:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry we're not done. We have live team picker, so same thing as before. We can adjust our themes, we can adjust our backgrounds, we can adjust our title images. 00:08:25:17 - 00:08:50:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So let's go ahead and choose those. Get them in our theme, get them looking how we want them to look. And there we go. Now for Live Team Picker. I'm curious how this is going to work because I need to have at least two teams. And so I, I've joined and I'm about to break into teams. So I'm the blue team. 00:08:50:15 - 00:08:55:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So it still works even though there's zero whole people on the red 00:08:55:23 - 00:09:14:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But once again, this is an easy way you can get everyone who has a phone. One of the ways that the phone thing can be a smidge of a struggle in our context. We also have middle schoolers who don't all have phones is we will have them play in table groups, and we'll have just one person at each table be a phone representative. 00:09:14:23 - 00:09:34:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So not everyone at the table has to have a phone. But if one person at the table has a phone and if there's a leader there, that's a way to kind of circumvent that and make it happen. And so whatever team up you have and then if we break up into teams. So once again, this is a great way to just really quickly break people up without having to, you know, number off one, two, one, two. 00:09:34:14 - 00:09:53:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry It just does it right, right straight away. So let's give it a 4.5 on ease. Let's give it a 4.0. Once again on intuition. There's really not much there as far as AI is concerned. And let's give it a 4.5 on operation over here very simply show title. You can show players names and then of course you can play the sound. 00:09:53:23 - 00:10:12:01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry If you don't want the sound, that giant celebration sound, you don't have to have that at the end. And then let's move on to our last final piece here of Live trivia. So once again, we can adjust and let's do that. Let's just our background, let's also adjust our title graphic 00:10:12:03 - 00:10:30:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Now here's the crazy thing. If you are like, super attentive to detail, you'll notice that all of the icons in the last two episodes they were square. But now, as we've moved on into the live section of sidekick, they're all rounded. And so that's just a very small differentiator. They also have the little like live icon off to the right. 00:10:30:15 - 00:10:50:07 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So not only are they rounded, but they have the little live icon sitting off to the side there. And so when you see that, you know that this has a live interactive style of element with it. And so here's live trivia. Setting up is relatively easy if you just want to very simply add some sort of like trivia question. 00:10:50:07 - 00:11:21:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So if you're like asking us very simple, true or false. Was basketball invented in New England? Is that answer true or is that answer false? And of course the answer is true. And did you know the Basketball Hall of Fame is in Springfield, Massachusetts? Right. Let's say that we want that to be a point value of 100. And then done. 00:11:21:11 - 00:11:44:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry We have a question. Right. Very simple. We're going to give ease like a 4.6. Right. It's very similar to trivia. We ranked it just a couple episodes ago. Here is, in my opinion, the crown jewel of the AI integration feature of Sidekick Pro lives in Live trivia. You, my friend, might never have to make a trivia game ever again with this particular feature right here, so watch this. 00:11:44:20 - 00:12:15:00 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry If you click this, add questions with AI and say I want basketball history related questions, I want ten questions. I want the audience to be high school students. I want the I want to be incredibly difficult. I want the tone to be competitive. I want there to be, four answer choices. If I do two, it just defaults into true or false, by the way, which I think is really cool, and then include a fun fact per question. 00:12:15:00 - 00:12:41:22 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And you hit generate here and it is going to make us a ten question basketball trivia quiz. And we are going to be off to the races. And here's what's even better in the actual operation of it all, it is a game changer. You will never have a tie game ever again because this is like Kahoot style, so you get points based on accuracy, but you also get points based off of speed. 00:12:41:22 - 00:12:53:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So it's incredibly difficult to go ahead and actually have ties unless people are getting exactly at the exact right moment. It also includes a, a fun fact per question. So 00:12:54:03 - 00:13:14:01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Let's get back into our live trivia. While I do, I realized I didn't add a score for the last one. We're at 130 there for Live Team Picker. It's in second place behind Live Number Guesser. Let's check out Live Trivia. So let me go ahead and let me get this thing started. So it'll start with the title graphic right here. 00:13:14:01 - 00:13:36:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then it'll click lobby. And then I can join the game right here. I'm going to do that on my phone. Nick is going to join the game I'm in. It says here on the operation side, one player has joined the game. You can also see one player is joined and then click Start Game. Now you'll see there are 11 questions 30s. 00:13:36:13 - 00:13:54:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then look up here at the right top corner. Zero of one have submitted correct answers. I submitted it and so it took the timer away. Once all contestants have submitted it, you won't wait for the timer any longer. And then right here, the operator, all they have to do is click reveal. Correct answer I got it right on my phone. 00:13:54:20 - 00:14:16:18 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry You see that little animation? It also says true. And then it shows a little fact that, you know, the Basketball Hall of Fame is in Springfield, Massachusetts. And then just click this blue button right here show leaderboard and I'm winning. Here's how many points I earned and atop the leaderboard. And then all the operator has to do is click next question I keep my phone open. 00:14:16:19 - 00:14:39:04 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry They click next question. And here I am. Who invented the game of basketball in 1891 James Naismith I locked it in. They click reveal answer. It shows that I'm correct and it gives the AI generated trivia. Naismith invented basketball at YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, using peach baskets as the original goals show leaderboard. And it gives my entire tally. 00:14:39:04 - 00:15:05:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Like I said, you will never have any ties again. So with a 4.6 on ease with a 4.9 on the AI intuition and a 4.9 on operation, you can't beat this one. This is 144, which means we have now declared a winner. Live trivia I believe that survey says is the number one AI integrated feature in Sidekick Pro. 00:15:05:21 - 00:15:10:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry I believe that Live Trivia is the number two AI integrated feature. 00:15:10:22 - 00:15:27:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Like you will be able to crank games out at absolute warp speed, and the gameplay is actually so fun. Like I said this a couple of weeks ago, my Heroes Bonus podcast. I said this is 00:15:27:16 - 00:15:38:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry the new preeminent like standard for youth ministry presentation software. It is a game changer and you will never have a tie trivia game ever again. 00:15:38:06 - 00:15:49:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry This like you have trivia games and now you have live trivia. It is that much better. It is that much more fun all with the phone being included. It is unbelievable. 00:15:49:21 - 00:16:02:02 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so I played live trivia in last night's episode. I'm going to talk about it in my upcoming episode on the Hybrid Heroes, as well as try and find a way to integrate and use the word Chen. 00:16:02:03 - 00:16:17:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Maybe I'll even find a way to integrate and use the word gem in my live trivia game. You'll just have to wait and see Monday that drops. If you're interested in that, go check it out. Link down below. As well as the Carousel Engine, the seasonal social media pack, all of that stuff.
